Hello everyone,

Our earthworks started on 28.07.2017, and our foundation slab was poured on Wednesday. The site supervisor wanted to inspect everything yesterday but unfortunately had a personal emergency and will be unavailable until at least next Wednesday.
Now the masonry work is supposed to start on Monday (07.08.2017) 🙁

What can we do now? I have tried everything, but I can’t get a replacement site supervisor that quickly 🙁
Has anyone experienced something like this? What can we do? The foundation slab is important, so it should be checked by someone, right?

Help :/

Unless the workers didn’t use a concrete vibrator and the concrete wasn’t properly compacted. But there’s nothing that can be done about that now anyway.

Do you also pick up yellow crusher sand when someone asks you to?
What do you want a vibrator for when pouring concrete?

@Egon12

It is probably referring to a shaking bottle.

I don't understand the provocative-ironic question, but yes, (Thanks @toxic) I meant the internal vibrator, needle vibrator, concrete vibrator, or whatever the device is called.
On our construction site, the workers simply referred to it as a "vibrator."

The device used to compact, for example, sand is called a "compactor plate" or "vibrating plate" here. I’m not always familiar with the technically correct terms in this industry, but presumably almost everyone else understood what was meant by "vibrator."
