Construction Specifier October 2022 - October, 2022

Proper concrete curing is critical to achieving the overall strength, durability, performance, and in many aspects, aesthetics everyone on a project expects of concrete. Further, proper curing is directly related to reduced maintenance costs and extended service life, therefore enhancing the overall sustainable design attributes of using concrete. Unfortunately, despite the relatively low cost of effective curing practices, this step in the process of concrete construction is often overlooked or minimized; and, failing to give curing its proper place can rapidly lead to failed expectations, expensive repairs, and delayed project timelines.
