Definition

This page defines Hot Weather Placement in plain language and summarizes common standards used in the field.

Typical standards (rules of thumb)

Reduce evaporation with fogging, shade, and windbreaks.

Use set-control admixtures as needed; limit water addition.

When to increase requirements

Increase curing protection under high wind/low humidity.

Field checklist

Confirm application, loads, and exposure (freeze-thaw, salts, abrasion).

Verify subgrade condition and compaction.

Verify reinforcement placement (chairs, ties, cover).

Plan curing method and weather protection before the pour starts.

Field note: Best outcomes come from correct mix selection, correct placement, and correct curing—together.

Common tools used
