Is it possible to pour concrete right now?
Without tediousness, and a huge number of digits I, as an engineer and builder (two entities) will try to answer you the question, "is it possible to pour concrete in the fall?"
To start to define the source data:
- We're talking about the East European Plain (in your opinion - the center of Russia); south - pour boldly =)
- Time interval: October November.
- Budget concrete work: minimum :) - as always in Russia.
So, this move, I cut off more than a dozen angry and discontented comments by statom, and therefore can be accepted for consideration. There are no comments - write.
Is it possible to pour concrete in the fall well?
My answer (as a builder) is unequivocal - yes.
The main thing - to observe the artless technique of several items.
The trick first.
It is clear that the weather now rarely pleases us sunny rain rain, but try to "catch" It is this day: the remains of ultraviolet positive effect on hardening of the concrete, as well as the heated air.
The trick to second.
Necessarily cover the poured concrete (otmostku, foundation) thick film (preferably - black). On the one hand, it will protect your concrete from moisture penetration from outside (rain), the other - from drying out too quickly in the open. It is important.
The trick to third. Final.
If the "covered" by bad weather - the temperature dropped - using two proven means. The first - the space between the heating foil and concrete - put at least a powerful illuminator 400-500 watts - it will warm an area of 7-8 square meters second - at the risk of lowering the temperature, use antifreeze additives - they are 300 rubles per liter, but allow the concrete to harden even at -5 degrees!
These are the tips!
And is it realistic to pour concrete right now in your area?
Write comments, it will be interesting to discuss!
