Article Number
1.9
Condition
EXPOSED CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE IS HONEYCOMBED
Acceptable Performance/Condition
Cast-in-place concrete exposed to view shall have no honeycombing.
Warranty
One-Year - Work and Materials
Action
Walls with honeycombing shall be repaired.
Remarks
Honeycombing is a group of holes or voids in concrete caused by insufficient consolidation of the concrete. Random individual pinholes or small voids are not honeycombing. Some honeycombing in areas of the building which are not routinely occupied (mechanical penthouse for example) may be considered acceptable if it does not negatively impact performance (leakage resistance, structural integrity etc.).
