Importance of pre-pour cards for concrete placement

Pre-pour checklists are very crucial for proper concrete placement. There should be an authentic verification and checking method to make sure that your next concrete placement is accurate. Without a pre/post pour checklist, huge is money is lost due to inappropriate lighting, incorrect mix design, slump, spacing, manpower etc.

In a pre-pour checklist, the following items should be included :-

1. Fill out as soon as the pour is already finished.
2. Fill it out 5 minutes prior to the pour
3. Left blank
4. Don’t have/use one.

Then it is required to re-assess what a good pre-pour checklist can achieve.

To make a pour card effective, the perfect process should be developed while running through the checklist. A perfect pre-pour process will achieve all the steps and the: Who, What, When, Where, How”.

Who: has verified, examined, checked, and figured: yardage, elevations, sleeves, anchor-bolts, embeds, reinforcing, elevations, mix design etc.
