- Take care of water-cement ratio of concrete. It is the most important factor that governs strength of concrete. It is the ratio of weight of water to the weight of cement. Mixer operator keeps no control over his hand and keeps adding extra water to the concrete as it eases labour’s work. Addition of extra water defeats the mix design, all quality control measures and results in production of poor concrete. Keep an eye on mixer operator. Be strict with him. Give him a calibrated tin or a 5 litre full mouth can and tell him the number of cans to be put into each load of dry ingredients. Check in actual the water that gets filled in the can in one go of putting it into water drum and taking out as it will not get filled to the brim. Accordingly work out the number of cans to be put in one load. Sometimes some narrow sections or areas with dense steel reinforcement require more workable and flowing concrete. For these areas, add extra water as well as extra cement so that water cement ratio is maintained.
