Cooler weather is right around the corner but variable weather will come first in October and early November. Here's a couple of tips and products that will make your crews more comfortable and keep your concrete curing properly.

• Fall Fashion for Construction Workers? Layered clothing. You know it can be cold in the early morning -- yet swelteringly hot by noon or 1 o'clock. By dressing in layers of clothing you can wear more -- or less -- as needed throughout the day.
• Don't Forget the Gloves. MCA's line of Ironclad® gloves keeps your hands warm and working in the cold. And our hard hat liners keep your head warm and …thinking.
• Heat it up! When the weather gets cold and stays cold consider warming up the crew with a job site space heater. MCA carries three types of forced air heaters.
• Frozen Ground Calls for Steel. Steel stakes, that is. They go into the ground so much easier than the wooden ones at this time of the year.
• Keep it Warm! Just like us humans, the concrete needs to stay warm, too! If it gets cold and freezes before it's set up, you've got problems. Try a Midwest Canvas® brand curing blanket to keep it from freezing…and cracking!
• Set it up FAST! Consider using one of Conspec's accelerators like C-Set or Q-Set. Both reduce the overall set-up time for the concrete and both are V.O.C. compliant.
