Pouring Concrete in Cold Weather

Feb 4

Don’t let winter frost bring your construction projects to a halt. Pouring concrete in colder weather might seem challenging, but with the right precautions and strategies, you can be ensured of a successful outcome.

Rocky View Concrete Services can get the job done in almost all winter weather.

We store our concrete materials in a heated space before use. Cold materials can slow down the setting time and affect the overall strength of the concrete. Keeping everything at a consistent, moderate temperature will contribute to a more successful pour.

Once the concrete is poured, it's essential to protect it from the elements. Insulating blankets are placed over the freshly poured concrete to retain heat during the curing process. Wind proof coverings are installed to all open apertures such as garage door openings and unfinished window framing.

We make sure to cover the entire area and secure the insulation to prevent heat loss. Pouring concrete in colder weather requires careful planning and attention to detail.

If you're considering a construction project, don't let the season hold you back – we are equipped to handle it all.
