Hot Weather Challenges In Abilene, summers often bring high temperatures and dry conditions. While warm weather can speed up the curing process, extreme heat poses several challenges: Rapid Water Evaporation: High heat can cause water in the concrete mix to evaporate too quickly, leading to shrinkage cracks and weakened strength. Shortened Workability Time: Concrete sets faster in hot weather, leaving less time for pouring and finishing. Solutions: Pour concrete during cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late evening. Use cool water and chilled aggregates in the mix. Apply curing compounds or wet coverings to slow evaporation and maintain moisture levels.
