1。 Discuss with your ready-mix producer the possibilities of using hot water, heating the aggregates, increasing the cement content, or adding an accelerating admixture.: Q* R4 |+ P8 u; g" N. Y; l
2。Order air entrainment if the concrete is exposed to freeze-thaw conditions during or after construction.
5 M! W/ {/ Z$ z, W 3。Plan ahead. Have insulation and heaters ready, and inform your ready-mix producer of what concrete temperature you'll need for your project.

) U! b8 h- \, d 8。Don't expose concrete surfaces to a sudden temperature drop; gradually reduce the insulation or enclosure temperature to control concrete cooling (no more than a 50 degree F drop in 24 hours).
