FAQS

What safety standards apply to hollow core erection?2025-10-14T07:40:25-04:00

CEI’s field teams follow PCI and OSHA safety standards for lifting, rigging, and fall protection. Rigging is inspected daily, pre-lift briefings are conducted before each sequence, and only certified riggers and Union Ironworkers handle slab setting and connection.

How are joints and keyways grouted in hollow core systems?2025-10-14T07:40:02-04:00

Once slabs are aligned and secured, crews fill keyways and closure strips using non-shrink grout or concrete per project specification. Proper grouting ensures load distribution between units and final composite strength of the precast hollow core system.

How does Concrete Erectors ensure alignment and camber accuracy?2025-10-14T07:39:13-04:00

CEI uses laser and control-line verification during placement to maintain camber, level, and joint spacing within acceptable limits. Adjustments are made during erection to ensure uniform elevation and continuous bearing, preventing uneven load transfer and finish issues later in the build.

What steps are involved in hollow core installation?2025-10-14T07:38:47-04:00

Concrete Erectors manages the full erection process—from pre-lift planning and crane setup to slab placement, camber verification, and grouting. Precast hollow core slabs are set to bearing surfaces, checked for camber and joint width, and secured per PCI MNL 116 and 117 guidelines to achieve structural alignment and consistency.
