🔥 The Silent Mistake That Weakens 80% of Columns on Site
💫Ever wondered why some concrete columns show honeycombs, cracks, or poor finishes—even when the mix design was perfect?
🚧The problem is not always the concrete… it’s how we place it.
Look at this 👇
🏷When concrete is poured from heights greater than 1.2m, segregation occurs. Aggregates detach, paste runs off, and the structure loses strength. That one mistake can silently compromise your project.
🚫 Wrong practice: Free-fall from height.
✅ Right practice: Use a hopper, tremie, or chute to control the flow and protect the mix.
