Now that winter seems to have begun: Concrete Finishing in cold weather.
As winter weather seems to have finally begun, we offer a reminder about how cold weather affects the concrete work. The active temperature requires different mixes of aggregate and different, most often longer, curing and setting times. This impacts the time required to ‘finish’ the concrete, which is the final and a critical part of all continuous concrete pours.
As the temperatures have lowered again, there will be later working hours for concrete finishing. This also means the crane lights will stay on later to ensure the safety of the crews working on the top level of the building. For example, if temperatures are below freezing concrete work is likely to continue to 11 pm or later. To ensure the safety and feasibility of this critical work, the crane lights will stay on until the work is being completed.
