The inspector can.

I’ve seen a lot of concrete placed for highways, bridges, industrial buildings and institutional buildings.

Depending on the structural design, certain requirements exist like the length of the weld to tie floor joists to embeds or other steel.

I’ve seen contractors try to glue embeds in walls and use the same epoxy incorrectly for anchors that weren’t compatible.

Was the Q deck correct?

Was the pump operator in communication with the concrete crew?

Was a slump test done with the result being within spec.

I’m curious.

“Hey, you need to slow down we can’t spread it that fast!”

“You guys weren’t ready when I got here at 8 and I got another pour at 1 and I’m already late!!”
