A free, user-friendly app that provides real-time local weather info to ensure conditions are just right for pouring concrete has just been released.
The app is designed for concrete professionals and is available from iTunes and Google Play.
The Smart Concrete App from industry group Cement Concrete and Aggregates Australia (CCAA) takes the guesswork out of determining the best environmental conditions for placing concrete to avoid weather-related cracking.
CCAA says humidity, temperature and even wind conditions can affect the curing and, ultimately, performance of new concrete. By knowing when environmental conditions are best for pouring the concrete, mistakes can be avoided, saving time and money.
The app also contains general tips and best-practice guidelines for concrete placement, making it a handy, mobile reference tool.
For more information about the new app and working with concrete, visit the CCAA website.
