Why You Should Be Monitoring Your Concrete’s Curing Temperature

Monitoring your concrete curing temperature during the early stages of construction ensures the integrity of your structure. This is especially true during extreme weather conditions when mixing and curing of concrete are subject to different environmental elements. If freshly poured concrete is exposed to temperatures that are too high or too low, or if it isn’t preserving enough moisture, the strength development of the concrete will be compromised. Thus, closely monitoring temperature variances in your concrete slab during curing is vital to ensuring strength, quality, and durability. Using a concrete curing thermometer is the best method in ensuring the integrity of your concrete structure. SmartRock® is #1 and we can prove it! Experience the world’s #1 concrete sensor.
