Did you ask/pay for you engineer to inspect the reinforcement before/during the pour? I've found 99% of the times the concrete contractor or tradies are at fault.. I noticed there's no chairs and required concrete cover over the reinforcement? They are probably sitting in the back of the truck with the sundry bars? The proper procedure is to 1.Check that the contractor is licensed. 2.Get a written quote 3.Check the reinforcement order & Quants delivered 4. Warn the concretor that the engineer will inspect the rebar before the pours 5. If its being inspected 6.30am the morning of the pour and found to be noncompliant the pour will be delayed or worse concrete taken back to the depot. 6.7.etc Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Concrete slab non conforming 16Jul 20, 2017 9:10 am building-expert That makes no sense, as part of building permit there must be a mandatory inspection and approval, it will be detailed on your building permit. Your contractor is bullying you because he can. Get yourself experienced building consultant to back you up.
