Addressing Concrete Protection During Construction of Field House
As construction progressed, it was crucial to protect the exposed concrete amidst the ongoing framing work. Concrete is a robust and essential component of modern structures, but it requires careful safeguarding during the construction phase to ensure its durability and longevity.
The Challenge:
Concrete protection is critical during the construction phase, especially when the framing is already up. The primary concerns include:
Exposure to Elements: Concrete exposed to the elements can suffer from moisture damage, UV degradation, and temperature fluctuations, which can compromise its integrity.
Physical Damage: The ongoing framing work involves heavy machinery, tools, and materials that can cause scratches, dents, and other physical damage to the concrete surfaces.
Contamination: Construction dust, spills, and debris can lead to contamination, affecting the concrete's finish and structural properties.
