Often Undervalued, Always Needed: The Hidden Impacts of Concrete Quality Control in the Field

Concrete remains the backbone of multimillion-dollar modern infrastructure, yet the progress of the job relies on the unsung and unnoticed quality control inspector. An early “catch” can save a placement, or minor lapses in quality control can lead to perceived or real concerns about structural deficiencies and result in costly repairs.

In this webinar, we will explore the often-overlooked realities of concrete quality control on site—from improper curing to inadequate testing and documentation. Drawing on real-world case studies and post-construction assessments, we will examine how deviations during placement and inspection can create perceived liabilities that must be resolved by the project team before completing construction and adding cost and time to the project. Attendees will gain insights into common pitfalls, red flags during execution, and practical strategies for reinforcing quality assurance at every stage of construction. Whether you are an engineer, contractor, or inspector, this session will challenge assumptions and highlight why “good enough” is never enough when it comes to concrete.
