Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to pour concrete?
Contrary to popular belief, a sunny hot day is NOT the best time to pour and finish concrete, the best results happen when concrete is poured on an overcast damp day because you want moisture. A temperature of 55 degrees is ideal and you need the temperature to remain stable for three to four days following the pour. Stay away from windy days because wind can cause too much water to evaporate from the surface quickly. In south Louisiana, we have to pour on hot sunny days so we recommend blocking direct sun with a barrier to prevent stresses and cracking. We suggest using a burlap to cover exposed parts of slab including garage, patios and porches.
Why is post tension used?
Post tensioning is a method of pre compression which means the concrete is put into a state of compression which allows the concrete to take on flexure without cracking. Post tension design can improve sustainability and resiliency of a building.
