Concrete curing

ON working days I daily cross Tohkar Niaz Baig in the morning and the evening. A much needed overhead bridge with massive structure is rapidly coming up. Due to construction work in progress the traffic slows down at Tohkar which gives me ample opportunity to observe the construction activities.

To my surprise, I have never seen any water curing activity of the gigantic concrete columns, beams and projections. Maybe the technology has changed that I`m not aware of.

However, I just wanted to share my anxiety with the authorities concerned to look into the matter as we already had witnessed a debacle in Karachi last year.
