Big difference between the weight and integrity of heavy wet concrete and dry hard concrete .....
never load from the middle and always use temp support

I've see 6 inch deflection in steel structures just pouring 4 inch floors.
HVAC guys will complain the most .....

The architect only left the MEP guys 1” of slop to get in the lights + sprinkler + ductwork, so they’re probably justified in griping.

6 inch deflection?

I used to install fuel ust’s. 2 inches would be a major issue.... Same with the guys installing shoring for the tank holes.
