// Interpretation
What this means
// NOTE · Pour plan summary
Your 50 m³ pour with pump — boom will take approximately 1 hr 34 min starting at 8:00 AM. You'll need 9 TMs at 10-minute intervals. Critical: have 12 cube molds ready and 4+2 vibrators on site.
// CRITICAL · Critical reminders
- All TMs must arrive within 90 minutes of batching.
- Slump test on every TM at site — don't skip.
- Cube samples cast as concrete arrives, not at the end.
- Engineer-in-charge present throughout the pour.
- Begin curing within 2 hours of placement.
- Plan for delays — keep a backup placement plan and joint location ready.
// Context
When to use this
// What is this
Pour day is the most critical day of construction. Poor planning = cold joints, honeycombing, missed cube samples, rushed placement. This tool gives you a calibrated plan with timing, equipment, and crew sizing.
// When to use it
Use 24–48 hours before the pour to brief crew, confirm TM scheduling with dispatch, and stage equipment and cube molds.
