Workability, Evaporation, and Concrete Temperature | NITROcrete
Hot weather concreting isn't for the faint of heart. We'd hazard a hypothesis that profanity on project sites goes up proportionally with ambient temperature. In short: hot weather concrete is difficult. A simple-sounding yet familiar problem, but one with a complicated explanation. Stubborn hot weather concrete causes challenges for a variety of interconnected reasons.

Reduce Carbon Emissions and Waste
A third-party Streamlined Comparative Life Cycle Assesment compared liquid nitrogen cooling with ice cooling; the results showed significant reduction in carbon emissions, harmful particulate matter, and energy consumption.

Improve Workability
Prevent slump loss and maintain workability, even in hot weather concreting operations. By lowering the concrete mixture's temperature, crews face less hassle with finishing and placing concrete.
