Pre-Pour Documentation

Pre-pour documentation (often referred to as a pre-pour checklist) is a vital tool for ensuring the success of any concrete project. It aids design & can facilitate quick-decision making on-site.

Pre-pour documentation captures accurate in-slab conditions, such as formwork, conduits, rebar layout, post-tensioned cables, tech cables & all other embedded objects before concrete is poured. This supports quality assurance, dispute resolution, design & core-hole layout.
Developed for the construction industry, Xradar’s Sitewalk is a method of capturing and documenting pre-pour perspectives of in-slab targets. Xradar allows you to continuously monitor and record the progress of your site from original plans to validating as-built conditions. The 3D platform places great emphasis on freedom of movement, allowing all users to remotely “walk” through the project.

4 Key Reasons Why Pre-Pour Documentation is Essential for Any Construction Project

Formwork:
Confirming formwork is properly constructed, secure, and aligned according to the plans, including checking for proper release agents.
Reinforcement:
Ensuring reinforcement (rebar) and post-tensioned cables are correctly placed, tied, and free of debris, with proper spacing and laps.
Embedded Items:
Verifying that any embedded items, such as pipes or utilities, are in their correct positions and properly installed.
Safety:
‍Checking for proper barricades, fall protection, and communication equipment, as well as ensuring a clear work area.

6 Benefits of Completing a Pre-Pour Documentation Sitewalk

Reduces Cost and Rework:
‍Identifying and addressing issues before the pour can significantly reduce costly rework and delays.

‍Improves Quality:
‍Ensuring proper preparation leads to a higher quality concrete pour, resulting in a more durable and structurally sound finished product.

‍Enhances Safety:
‍Proper pre-pour preparation and safety checks help minimize the risk of accidents and injuries on the job site.

‍Provides a Record:
‍Pre-pour documentation serves as a legal record of the site conditions and preparations, which can be valuable in case of disputes or inspections.

‍Facilitates Communication:
‍The sitewalk can be used to communicate important information between different parties involved in the project, such as the contractor, subcontractor, and inspector.

‍Empowers Designers:
‍Reduces any guesswork when laying out core holes, with full consideration for structural elements like zone steel, slab bands, and other no-go areas for core-holes.
