Concrete Operations Management

By planning around the weather, teams can shift staffing and crews quickly to get coverage during ideal building conditions, reducing mid-shift cancellations, and keeping project timelines on track.

Understanding the weather can immediately reduce project delays and save serious money

Apply Evaporation Retardant: Windy

High winds, apply retardant to reduce rapid moisture loss from the concrete surfaces prior to curing.

Postpone Concrete Pour: Rain

Ideally delay the pour for dry weather. If necessary cover fresh concrete with polyethylene sheeting or burlap and stretch it over the entire area of pour. Rain falling on top of freshly laid concrete can damage the surface and compromise a level and floated finish.

Upsell Ice For Concrete: High Temp

Be prepared ahead of time with the proper amount of ice at site. Ensure that the concrete does not reach temperatures that are too high, in hot weather, to allow proper strength development and durability of the concrete.

severity - 3 sever

Upsell Humidity Additive: Increased Humidity

When relative humidity levels increase, the compressive strength of concrete decreases, affecting its durability.

Cancel Concrete Pour: High Winds

Postpone pour, moisture loss will be too rapid in these conditions.

Limit Crane Operations: Low Visibility

Limit crane operations until visibility improves.

severity - 3 sever

Suspend Crane Operations: High Winds

Winds conditions are gusting 25mph, this may pose a risk for crane operation. Use with caution.
