Someone on that job 100% said they should delay and someone in an air conditioned building 50 miles away said absolutely not.

Fire the idiots who didn’t check the weather.

What rain on a bioluminescent sea looks like

A family marks the pavement of their new home's entrance with their baby's footprints. Definitely a lasting memory.

Concrete will dry even if rained on. Think of the massive supports needed to build bridges - you can literally get concrete to cure UNDER water.

The contractor told them to "delay" but they heard "ándele!"

The baby's happiness when he sees his mother on TV

When you give the construction workers control over the BBQ 😂

Nothing Expansion joints are cut so it’s already curing, water is good for curing concrete

You did the right thing. Film and post on the internet

It so funny how only a few people so far know the real answer, that I can see. Everyone else is saying it's fucked. See those lines in the cement, that look like they're cut in [they are] well thats done at a certain time. Not only would it be kind of alright, if it was fresher, but actually this is no problem at all, at it's current cure. It will be fine.

wait

This is the situation on the streets of Philadelphia, USA 🇺🇸

Add more concrete to get the ratio right again...

Appropriate response to a rain event mid pour is ti be prepped with tarps and plastic sheeting. Start tarping the oldest of the pour and have guys hold up plastic sheeting over the active pour area as it gets worked. Done this many a times in torrential rains

What do you even do in this situation?😭🐮

Plan better next time

That's what weather forecasts are for. On a concrete pour that size, inexcusable.

You fire the pm that scheduled the pour.

Learn to read the weather report?

Two days before you look at the weather forecast

Concrete doesn’t dry, it cures. It’s a chemical reaction that requires water. Some concrete is actually cured with wet blankets. There’s usually an allowable limit of water that can be added to the truck for workability. The subgrade compaction is usually more of a problem in the rain. It looks like they’re mostly done placing though. You might need to keep placing because concrete has about an hour life in the truck so they’ll need to get those trucks emptied. If there’s remaining areas that need to be placed on another day they might need to demo back to the closest saw cut line and install dowels to make cold joint. All of this depends on the specific conditions, contracts, plans, and specifications.

Well. First off you don't pour just because you're scheduled to and it will be inconvenient to not pour. Look at the weather and if rain is in the forecast you better have some monstrous tarps, or cancel your pour before it's mixed.

What do you even do in this situation? 😭😭😭
