How would you go about cleaning concrete off of steel form stakes other than beating them with a hammer?
Keb
Try using muratic acid. I know that it can be used to etch concrete, so I'm sure that it will effectively remove the concrete from the steel. However, I am not sure what effects the muratic will have on the steel. Good luck.
AnswerIf the concrete is already there.. you will have to knock it off with the hammer techinque... I suppose a few clever types would suggest air-chisels or the like....If you want to avoid the problem, spray the stakes with 'release' oil when you are coating the forms... lightly tapping the stakes together as the are collected will knock most slump from them
Answerhit them alittle with form release and run steel wool over them quick as you put them away will keep em shining foreverWiki User

What is the meaning of a blue land surveyors flag?
If the flag was placed by Utiility personnel responding to a "One-call" locate request, the blue flag indicates a buried water line. You see these marked when a contractor calls the "Call before you dig number" a couple of days prior to excavating. This is required by law in each state to reduce the likelihood of damaging underground utilities when excavating. The standard color code used by almost all utility companies for painting & flags is: White - "Here is the area I plan on excavating!" Blue - water line Red -electicity Yellow -natural gas Green -sewer Orange -telephone and/or fiberoptic line If the blue flagging was a fuzzy blue marker nailed to the top of a wood surveyor's stake, then it probably serves to indicate the top of the grade at which the engineer wants the earthmoving equipment to place fill dirt. These are called "blue-top" stakes. edit: I was always taught that a "blue-top" was a stake that the surveyor did not want disturbed (as opposed to other temporary stakes that might be moved, taken out, destroyed by site activities). In fact, my surveying instructor joked that he always carried a blue-top with him when hiking. If he got lost, he'd pound it in to the ground and then wait a few minutes and follow out the heavy equipment that came in to knock down the blue-top stake.

How do you build a concrete form?
A concrete form is just a box that holds wet concrete in shape until it sets. They are normally wood but I've seen metal forms a lot too. It has to be removable when the concrete hardens, usually by taking it apart. First, find your grade, that's the level you want the concrete to be at when it's finished. Drive some stakes around the area and suspend strings where the edges will be. Drive larger stakes along the strings. Fasten the boards to the stakes with the top edge on grade. Make sure to support it a lot along the board with additional stakes because concrete is very heavy. Add or remove fill in the form until you have the depth you want. Your ready to pour.
