Background
For the construction of a new Health Clinic in Whitby, the contractor reached out to Form & Build to procure many of the items needed to complete all of the concrete work. Everything from Grief forming tubes to Krystaline Plug from Kryton to effectively patch tie holes were supplied according the project timeline.
Originally, the contractor intended to cure the building footings using standard burlap for a wet cure. While a wet cure with burlap has its advantages, it requires daily watering to achieve an effective cure. This process is time consuming and may be forgotten for a day or two on a busy job site. This ultimately can lead to a substandard and weaker concrete slab.
