Concrete quality control - field note 002

The 50,000 cubic meters of concrete poured for the new flyover in Pune required stringent quality checks.

Vendor Sundar Cement delivered batches with slump values 30-35 cm, below the 40 cm target, risking surface defects.

• Reassess mix design and adjust aggregate ratio.
• Implement on-site slump testing before each pour.
• Train crew on proper compaction techniques.
• Monitor temperature to prevent rapid setting.

After recalibration, we achieved consistent finish quality, and the flyover now meets all durability standards.
