In the open space which used to be the parking lot for the Sunday Bazaar in Gulshan-e-Iqbal a number of RCC beams are being cast for some bridge. Being a resident of the same area I pass by this site several time in a day. It pains me to see that after pouring the cement not a single drop of water is poured on the beams to keep it cool for a number of days as per the procedures.
Neither is the vibrator used to compact the cement after pouring. Would some RCC expert throw some light how strong these beams are going to be? Would these be strong enough to bear the ever increasing heavy rolling loads on the bridge? I had tried to pass on some words to persons concerned through the workers, but I see no result!
