Creating a Site Plan
Learn how to plan mixer placement, casting direction, and material staging to reduce rehandling, protect fresh UHPC, and keep placement operations moving efficiently.
Proper Material Storage
Understand how to store UHPC premix, steel fibers, and admixtures to prevent moisture damage, clumping, and material degradation before mixing.
Mixing Options and Washout
Review available mixing options for UHPC, batch size expectations, and how to plan for washout water and runoff containment on site.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Learn what personal protective equipment is recommended for batching, handling, and placing UHPC to protect workers from dust, chemicals, and irritation.
Creating a Pour Plan
See how to plan casting sequence, control placement timing, and avoid cold joints during UHPC pours on bridge projects.
Formwork
Understand why watertight, properly supported formwork is critical for UHPC and how to prepare forms to handle hydrostatic pressure.
UHPC Placement
Review placement techniques that help achieve proper flow, fiber alignment, moisture retention, and full consolidation during UHPC pours.
Material Expectations
Learn how UHPC behaves differently from traditional concrete, including workability windows, setting times, and cleanup considerations.
Equipment
Identify the equipment required for UHPC mixing and placement, including mixers, power sources, water supply, lifting equipment, and buggies.
Manpower
Understand the recommended crew roles and staffing needed to support UHPC mixing, transport, placement, and finishing operations.
QC Provided by SMARTUP
Learn how SMARTUP technicians support each placement with on-site quality control, real-time adjustments, testing, and crew guidance.
