failures to completely fill the concourse pan deck during concrete pours, which created a “honeycomb effect,” letters show.


This is a huge construction/civil engineering no-no. No vibrator used when pouring maybe?

Very odd to see honey combing in mezzanine pan slabs. In 14 years in that industry, I never saw that issue. Usually see this in poured walls and it is more of a cosmetic rather than a structural issue. Just don't see how there is honey combing on a smooth troweled finished slab, or a broom finish for that matter without it being noticed. It's more likely that it's scaling or severe de-lamination to such a degree that it looks like honey combing. That is typically caused by sealing it to soon by the finisher and to much bleed water trapped beneath the surface. But that isn't a structural issue in any case I have been involved with. Must be so bad in spots that it is a structural issue.
