Mother Nature is No
Match For Us
Farming doesn’t stop for snow or rain, and neither does the team at Pipping Concrete. When cold temperatures hit, we keep projects moving with state-of-the-art ground thaw machines, portable heat systems, concrete blankets, and tenting to ensure thorough site insulation and prevent frost damage.
As we’re pouring concrete, we’ll use heated water, accelerators, and temporary heat to break the wind and maintain target temperatures for proper setting and curing.

How do you pour concrete below freezing?
We use heated water, insulated blankets, enclosed work areas, and other cold-weather concrete pouring strategies to keep temperatures optimal from mix to cure.
Is winter concrete as strong as summer concrete?
Yes, when done correctly, cold-weather concrete is as strong or stronger than summer pours
