FAQ About Concrete Cambridge TAS
How long before I can walk on ready mix concrete in Cambridge?
In Cambridge’s cooler climate, I typically tell my clients they can walk on fresh concrete after 24-48 hours, but I always recommend waiting the full 48 hours to be safe. Tasmania’s temperatures are often lower than mainland Australia, which means concrete takes a bit longer to set properly. If we’re dealing with one of those chilly Cambridge mornings (especially near the airport where it can get quite frosty), I might suggest waiting up to 72 hours before any foot traffic.
Does spraying water on concrete help it cure in Cambridge's climate?
Absolutely! In fact, with Cambridge’s sometimes dry winter winds and our summer heat waves, I always recommend mist spraying for the first week. The key is gentle misting, not blasting with the hose. Cambridge residents often ask me about this because they see their concrete looking “dry” – that’s normal, but a light spray 2-3 times daily for the first week helps achieve maximum strength.
When should I start watering concrete after pouring in Cambridge?
I tell my Cambridge clients to start gentle misting about 2-4 hours after we finish. By then, the surface has firmed up enough that water won’t damage it, but the concrete is still actively curing. Given Cambridge’s variable weather – you might have morning frost followed by afternoon sun – consistent moisture is crucial for the first week.
What happens if concrete is not cured properly in Cambridge conditions?
Poor curing in our Cambridge climate typically results in weak, dusty surfaces that won’t handle our freeze-thaw cycles. I’ve seen improperly cured concrete in Cambridge developments that started cracking within the first winter. Given our temperature swings from sub-zero mornings to 15°C afternoons, proper curing is absolutely critical for longevity.
Can concrete cure too fast in Cambridge?
During those rare Cambridge hot spells (yes, we do get them!), concrete can cure too quickly, leading to shrinkage cracks. This is especially common in exposed areas like the new developments near the airport where there’s little wind protection. Rapid curing reduces final strength and creates those hairline cracks that let water in – not ideal for our wet winters.
