Cold Weather Concreting

Cold Weather Concreting

Posted: 10/17/2024

Date: 27th November 2024 | Venue: Online

The negative effects of placing concrete in colder weather are well established. Concrete can be damaged to such an extent that it is unfit for use, has lower strength development or reduced durability. Therefore, it is important that precautions are taken to ensure that the performance of the concrete is not unduly affected.

In this seminar, our highly experienced industry professionals will discuss the practical aspects of successfully placing concrete during cold weather. We will also look at the damage caused by freezing temperatures to fresh concrete.

This seminar will be of interest to all those involved in the planning and supervision of concrete construction. Main Contractors, Specialist Sub-Contractors, Site Supervisory Personnel, Local Authority Engineers, Consulting Engineers and Ready-mixed Concrete Producers will all benefit from attending.
