Overcoming Southeast Summer Heat in Concrete Construction

Open job sites in the Southeast don't forgive you for sleeping in.

By July, ground temps in Georgia can hit 150°F before noon.

Concrete starts setting the moment it touches the air.

And on a hot, dry slab with no shade in sight, you've got less working time than the spec sheet promises.

GGC's answer is pre-dawn pours.

Crew on site before first light.

Trucks staged, forms checked.

Chilled mix water, curing blankets, and wet burlap ready before the first truck rolls.

The concrete holds if you plan ahead.

The crew stays healthy if you plan ahead.

Southeast summers aren't going anywhere.

The pre-dawn start is just part of the job now.
