Subgrade Preparation
Ensure a well-drained, level, and compacted base. Remove soft spots and organic material.
Uniform support prevents cracking and settlement.
Ordering Concrete
Provide clear job details including location, mix type, and application. Communicate site conditions
and restrictions to avoid delays.
Placement & Strikeoff
Place concrete near final position, slightly overfill, and level properly. Strike off to achieve correct
grade before bleed water appears.
Finishing Procedure
Do not overwork concrete. Use magnesium bull float with one pass only. Overworking weakens the
surface.
Critical Waiting Period
Wait for bleed water to rise and disappear. Surface should lose shine before finishing. Finishing too
early causes defects.
Timing Guidelines
Hot: 20-45 min | Normal: 45-90 min | Cool: 1.5-3 hrs | Cold: 2-4 hrs. Always adjust based on
conditions.
Final Finishing Steps
Edge and joint after bleed water is gone. Use broom finish if needed. Avoid steel troweling
outdoors.
Curing
Curing is essential for strength and durability. Keep concrete moist and protected for ~30 days. Poor curing reduces strength.
Sealing
Apply sealer after finishing and reapply after 30 days. Helps protect against moisture and weather
damage.
Cold Weather & Deicers
Avoid deicers in first winter. Never use ammonium-based products. Protect concrete from freezing.
Common Failures
Finishing too early (scaling), overworking (weak surface), poor curing (salt damage), low air content
(freeze/thaw damage).
Crew Rules of Thumb
If it shines, don’t touch it. One pass is enough. Wait when unsure. Finish based on condition, not
time.
