How soon can I set equipment after concrete is poured?
/Concrete needs to be completely hydrated which is typically 28 days with standard concrete. Concrete could be hydrated faster than 28 days but would need to be tested to verify full hydration.

Assuming the concrete is properly cured, grout can be poured after all concrete laitance is removed.
If you do not install expansion joints on a large enough grout pour, the grout is more likely to crack. This does not mean it has failed, however, you need to fill the crack to prevent any liquids from reaching the foundation.
