When it gets cold, Get ready with Get-Set.
Get-Set from CBM is the industry equalizer in the war against cold weather delays. Different formulations allow Get-Set ready-mixed concrete to achieve quicker, more predictable set times even in the dead of winter. With Get-Set you can achieve excellent surface appearance and improved finishing characteristics while you speed-up set time by up to 35%. This can often mean the difference between waiting an entire season and finishing a project ahead of schedule.
Cold weather concrete construction can be a headache for even the most experienced contractor. Scheduling a pour and putting on an expensive crew and equipment only to have extremely cold temperatures arrive is an uncontrollable act of nature.
But having a bright and sunny morning with the temperature hovering around the freezing point can be an even greater challenge. Ambient temperatures often fluctuate dramatically. Set time for normal concrete with ambient temperatures between -7°C and +7°C can vary substantially and it could take more than 16 hours to get your finishers working.
Get-Set speeds up concrete set times by as much as 35% and permits placement at temperatures as low as -7°C. A little extra now can save a lot of headaches later, such as:
Extra labour costs
Overtime labour costs
Equipment costs
Heating, insulating and protection costs
Rescheduling costs
