Cold weather concrete placement requires specialized techniques to maintain proper curing conditions when ambient temperatures drop below thresholds that affect concrete hydration and strength development. Commercial construction schedules rarely allow suspension of concrete work during winter months, making cold weather placement capabilities essential for year-round project delivery in North Texas.
Cold weather concrete placement uses modified mix designs, heated materials, and temperature protection to ensure proper curing. Hot water and heated aggregates raise initial concrete temperature. Accelerating admixtures speed hydration and strength gain. Reduced water-cement ratios improve early strength development. We coordinate mix modifications with concrete suppliers based on forecast conditions.
Temperature protection during curing prevents concrete from freezing before achieving sufficient strength. Insulated blankets, heated enclosures, and ground heaters maintain temperatures above freezing thresholds. Protection duration depends on mix design, member thickness, and exposure conditions. We implement protection measures appropriate for each placement situation.
Monitoring and documentation track concrete temperatures throughout the critical curing period. Temperature sensors and data logging verify that curing conditions meet specifications. Documentation provides quality records for project files and building department requirements.
As a general contractor, we provide cold weather capabilities that maintain project schedules through winter construction seasons. Direct contracts ensure accountability for placement quality regardless of weather conditions.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Cold Weather Concrete & Winter Pours
What temperatures require cold weather procedures?
ACI standards define cold weather conditions as three or more consecutive days with average daily temperatures below 40°F. We implement cold weather procedures when these conditions are forecast or when concrete may be exposed to freezing.
How do you prevent concrete from freezing?
We use heated materials, accelerated mixes, insulated blankets, and heated enclosures to maintain concrete above freezing during initial curing. Protection methods depend on placement size and exposure conditions.
Does cold weather affect concrete quality?
Properly placed cold weather concrete achieves full design strength. Modified mixes and protection measures compensate for slower hydration in cold conditions. Quality is maintained through proper procedures.
What documentation do you provide?
We provide temperature monitoring records, protection documentation, and curing condition verification. Documentation meets ACI standards and building department requirements.
How does cold weather affect schedules?
Cold weather may extend curing times before form removal or loading. We factor extended cure times into project schedules and communicate impacts to project stakeholders.
