COMET TALE 4: MOIST-CURING ROOM DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE
Description |
CoMET Tale No. 4 focuses on moist-curing-room design, construction, and maintenance. It advises that the first step in planning a new moist-curing room is to become familiar with some of the most common problems likely to be encountered, with an emphasis on mold. It continues by discussing room layout, room size, noting that “the type, size, and number of anticipated specimens are key factors to consider when planning.” Nonetheless, “top billing” goes to maintenance, because it “is so important to effective, efficient, and uninterrupted curing-room operations.” The CoMET Tale goes on to provide guidance about curing-room location and interior-design options, with a focus on safety and maintainability.
