Concrete consolidation is the process of compacting freshly poured concrete to eliminate voids and release entrapped air. This ensures that the cement paste (also known as mortar) properly encapsulates reinforcing steel, coarse aggregate and other objects (webs) in the concrete mix. Proper consolidation for Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) is very important because it helps to prevent leaks and creates stronger walls.
