concrete pour

Wet cement delivery

A concrete pour is the act of placing wet concrete into forms or a designated area, or the specific batch of concrete placed in one continuous operation.

Construction projects track progress by pours: We completed the foundation pour yesterday.

The term emphasizes that once started, the process must continue until finished—you can't pause mid-pour without creating weak joints.
