Concrete can be placed at various temperatures if precautionary measures are taken. In extremely cold weather, concrete should not be allowed to freeze until it has gained sufficient strength to withstand the damaging affects of freezing. Concrete will lose its workability and set up considerably faster in hot weather. Please refer to CIP 12 for more information on placing concrete in hot weather.
