Weather plays a major role in the quality, durability, and performance of concrete. Whether it’s extreme heat, freezing temperatures, heavy rain, or high winds, the right mix design and placement strategies are critical to ensuring long-lasting results. At Silver Strike Concrete, we help contractors navigate these challenges with customized concrete solutions tailored to any climate condition.
Weather Challenges in Concrete Placement
Hot Weather
- Rapid moisture loss can cause cracking and weaker final strength.
- Solution: We provide admixtures that improve hydration control and set time adjustments.
Cold Weather
- Low temperatures slow curing times and can lead to freezing issues.
- Solution: We offer hot water and accelerating admixtures to maintain strength development.
Rainy Conditions
- Excessive water on freshly placed concrete weakens the surface and leads to scaling.
- Solution: Our team provides adjusted mix designs and guidance for best placement timing.
High Winds
- Increases evaporation, leading to premature surface drying and potential cracking.
- Solution: We recommend using curing compounds and proper finishing techniques.
