Readiness check

Is your concrete pour ready to go?

Most slab problems are set before the concrete leaves the plant: the weather nobody planned for, the subgrade nobody checked, the cure nobody staged. Answer for the pour you have coming. The score is computed on your device; enter an email only if you want the pour-day checklist sent over.

1. Have you checked the evaporation rate for the forecast (air temp, concrete temp, humidity, wind)?Yes, and we have fogging or an evaporation retarder staged if it runs highWe looked at the temperature but not the full evaporation rateNo

2. Is the subgrade ready (compacted, not frozen, not bone-dry, at the right grade)?Yes, subgrade is compacted, conditioned, and shot to gradeIt is roughly there but not verifiedNo

3. Do you have the mix design, the specified slump, and the tolerance on hand?Yes, mix ID, design slump, and tolerance are confirmedWe know the mix number, not the toleranceNo

4. Is the plan set for fresh tests and strength cylinders (who samples, where, and the cure box)?Yes, a tech is set to sample at placement with an initial-cure box readySomeone will grab cylinders, no cure boxNo testing planned

5. Is the water-addition rule understood (one controlled add within the mix design, recorded on the ticket)?Yes, and the crew knows uncontrolled water gets recorded or refusedWe add water to make it workable and move onNot sure of the rule

6. Is the finishing crew and the bleed-water plan set (no finishing over bleed water)?Yes, the crew waits for bleed water and will not seal it inThe crew is set but the bleed-water timing is looseNo finishing plan

7. Is curing staged to start right after finishing (compound, blankets, or wet cure on hand)?Yes, curing materials are on site and start at finishWe will cure tomorrowNo cure plan

8. Is the jointing plan set (sawcut timing and spacing, or tooled joints)?Yes, joint layout and the sawcut window are plannedWe will cut joints when we get to itNo joint plan
