How cold and wet weather affects concrete, and what we do to make sure it cures properly.
Concrete can be poured year-round in Mount Gambier, but winter needs a bit more planning.
Concrete gains strength more slowly when it's cold. We may adjust the mix and protect fresh concrete overnight on cold days.
Heavy rain can damage the surface of a fresh pour. We watch the forecast and cover new work if showers move in. This matters most for exposed aggregate finishes.
A well compacted base and good falls stop water sitting under or on the slab. It's the most important step for concrete driveways.
On a sloping block, concrete work often goes hand in hand with retaining walls, and getting both planned together saves trouble later.
