Anybody have any experince fixing honeycombing in a foundation wall?
On a recent pour we had a lot of problems with honeycombing due to the fact that I was under-staffed, the trucks were late, and all four of them came at once. Now, on the interior which is going to be un-finished, I’ve got 50-75 sq. ft. of honeycombed concrete. Any advice?

If the voids are large, take a semi-dry mix of concrete of the same strength as the original and fill the void to the surface.
Then take a lump hammer and a piece of 2" x 2" (or whatever fits) and pound the fill to force it into the whole of the cavity.
For small voids, mix up plasterers sand and cement, about 3:1, to the same stiffness as bricklayers mortar.
Fill the voids with a trowel, or whatever, take a piece of sacking/hessian and rub over the whole area to remove the excess.
If the voids are large enough to affect the integrity of the structure, get an expert to look at it.
