Large projects also involve casting tests as well. When you do a pour, you also cast a few cylindrical molds of concrete. Then, you test those cylinders after a few weeks.
If your goal is to safely sabatoge a project, something that causes an issue here seems like a good option. It will get caught before it becomes a safety issue; but after it has already cost a significant amount of time and resources
Ahh, yeah my experience is more oriented to residential construction back when I was going to school. For that stuff you were lucky if anyone did a slump test.
I would still be uneasy about doing this to a commercial space in my state at least. It wouldn't surprise me if a construction company attempted to place a bribe to a lab or more likely a local official if it was cheaper than digging out a bad slab.
get to the inspector. become the inspector. cause the project to be built in a way that it will fail. the inspector is the easiest point of failure. cause cost overruns because of safety. be creative.
it's the
version of sabotage
