Concrete Placement and Finishability
Target Audience: Concrete Producers and Contractors (*All industry professionals are welcome to attend)
The placement and finishability of ready mix concrete during slab construction is dependent upon the project-specific needs. A concrete mixture must meet the desired performance properties that can vary significantly throughout the entire construction process. No single construction project is the same and therefore neither is the concrete mixture. This webinar will address what factors affect concrete placement and finishability while providing insight on how to achieve your desired concrete mixture performance.
