Florida’s climate can be quite hot for a significant portion of the year, and there are indeed specific considerations when working with concrete in such conditions. To ensure the success of your project, especially in the Florida heat, here are some key factors to keep in mind:
Concrete Curing: Hot weather can expedite the curing process of concrete, impacting the finishing phase. Proper curing methods, like the use of curing compounds or wet curing, are essential to prevent cracking and ensure the concrete reaches its desired strength.
Concrete Temperature: Our team is well-versed in managing concrete mix temperatures, even in hot weather. We can adjust mix designs or employ cooling methods like ice or chilled water to maintain the ideal concrete temperature.
Concrete Placement: Scheduling concrete placements during cooler periods of the day, such as early mornings or late afternoons, is a strategy to maintain workability and achieve optimal results when it’s scorching outside.
Sun Protection: We recommend protecting the concrete from direct sunlight during placement and curing to avoid rapid drying, which can lead to surface cracks.
Shade and Ventilation: Ensuring your work crew has access to shade and proper ventilation on the job site is crucial to combat heat stress during hot weather conditions.
Rest assured, our team is here to support you and address any specific hot weather challenges your project may face. Your success is our priority, and we’re dedicated to delivering top-quality concrete solutions, regardless of the weather conditions.

The maximum travel time for concrete can vary depending on several factors, including the specific mix design, environmental conditions, and project requirements. However, as a general guideline, it’s recommended that concrete be delivered and placed within 90 minutes to two hours of being batched at the plant.
This timeframe helps ensure that the concrete remains in its optimal state for proper placement, finishing, and curing. Longer travel times can lead to challenges in workability and may require additional measures to maintain the concrete’s quality.
