concrete pouring
Laying wet cement
Concrete pouring is the process of transferring wet concrete into forms or molds where it will harden into a permanent structure.
The term covers everything from pouring a backyard patio slab to laying foundations for skyscrapers.
Weather matters—freezing temperatures and extreme heat both cause problems, so contractors often schedule pours for favorable conditions: We delayed the concrete pouring until the cold snap passed.
