What to Know Before Concreting in Brisbane

Brisbane's sub-tropical climate means concrete curing conditions are generally favourable, warm temperatures accelerate concrete strength gain. However, Brisbane's intense summer heat can cause concrete to set too rapidly if poured during the hottest part of the day, experienced Brisbane concretors schedule pours for early morning during hot weather. Brisbane's high rainfall during the wet season creates wet ground conditions that can delay concrete work, curing concrete must be protected from rain in the first 24-48 hours. Brisbane's termite pressure means concrete slabs must include appropriate termite barriers under the slab (chemical treatment or physical barrier) to comply with Queensland termite management requirements.
