When it’s too cold, Get ready, Get-Set!™
Are you paying a crew to wait around while the concrete sets up?
Get-Set™ from CBM speeds up concrete set times by as much as 35% and permits placement at temperatures as low as -7°C. Cold weather concrete construction can be a headache for even the most experienced contractor. Scheduling a pour and putting on an expensive crew and equipment only to have a blizzard arrive is an uncontrollable act of nature. But having a bright and sunny morning with the temperature hovering around the freezing point can be an even greater challenge. Ambient temperatures often fluctuate dramatically. Set time for normal concrete with ambient temperatures between -7°C and +7°C can vary substantially and it could take as long as 16 hours to get your finishers working.
- A little extra now can save a lot of headaches later, such as:
- extra labour costs
- overtime labour costs
- equipment costs
- heating, insulating and protection costs
- rescheduling costs
