Today we're pouring concrete in very cold weather. It takes a special mix and a special crew to pour successfully in these cold temperatures.
In the video I explain what mix design we're using with one of my favorite ingrediants to make pouring easier.
We know how the concrete will act because we pour in this type of weather all the time.
It may seem risky, but for us, it's really not. You just have to know how to prepare, how to pour and what kind of concrete to use, how to finish the concrete and how to protect it afterwards.

I feel ya Mike. Upstate NY here (and I'm also 58). Always thermal pants and if I'm gonna be outside, long johns too. 4 to 5 shirts. I also - and you may find this a big help - nice thick neck gator. Just stopping the cold from being on my neck is amazing towards staying warm.
Right on
Maybe battery heated coats would help with fighting the cold
You guys are amazing best concrete youtube channel ever. Thank you for teaching me about HRWR its changed my whole business we dont have to have as many guys. You can pour it faster it screeds better. And im my opinion its stronger thab not having it.
Great to hear!
watching your videos from Ireland, great lads 👍 wool for cold and damp weather,, any cotton is a killer, especially jeans.
Its awesome that u still work in the winter! Most concrete guys take a few months off
Thank you for putting the mix you used on the screen. It helped me a lot to understand how you need that combination in that weather. Like I said before we really don’t get into those situations in some parts of Texas because inspectors won’t even let you pour. Thanks for anther great video. You have another sub.
Merry Christmas y’all.
Glad it was helpful!
Always enjoy watching yalls work. Nailed it again.
Thanks again!
Mike, it would be cool if you had a clock running, and show folks how fast your guys work. It’s impressive how everyone works as a team.
I saw the boots right away and it looked like you guys were wearing gaiters but it’s was playable rubber.
Merry Christmas 👍👍
Same to you!
For the most part we pour in -10f to -40f and rarely do our trucks hoses freeze up. We don't run air to pressure the tanks but have either electric pumps or air diaphragm pumps to move our water and we just recirculate the water back to the tank. As long as the valve is open enough it won't freeze up while driving
This year has felt quite a bit colder but we don't have any snow on the coast to prove it. Good thing you got it done before that last storm, what a mess that made.
Thanks for the video, Mike, and have a Merry Christmas!
@Mike Day Concrete Props to you and the crew, Mike! Another beautifully timed and finished job.
Mike check out the Milwaukee heated Vest I work outside in Wisconsin and that's what I use to keep warm and your just a few years older.. Thanks for the videos
I'm getting the Dewalt heated sweatshirt and jacket!
Just picked up my newest bean boots in freeport this past June on our yearly visit to friends in york. I guess about an hour or more from you. Live in east central illinois.
I love it that's looking good. Tim from Ohio.
Merry Christmas Mike and Crew And Happy New Year!!!!
Happy holidays!
I really like Triangle better than the L it’s a little more busy and I think it does a hell of a lot better job
Mike here in Wisconsin they sell little heat packs you can put right in your gloves. they are in sporting goods for ice fishing. Also huge lines of self-heating outerwear hit the market this year running on battery packs, heated socks have been sold forever around here.
I have heard that over half the heat loss comes through your head. To stay warm I would suggest a good hat. I am almost 60 living in Michigan and have a rabbit fur hat that I save for REALLY cold days. It makes a huge difference. Merry Christmas!
Great tip!
Great job as usual, Happy Holidays
Thanks! You too!
Always making it look easy
Mike, Try the nitrile gloves( surgical type) under your gloves. Trust me ! Its crazy how much they help ! I wear them under my motocross gloves in the freezing races and they work !!!!!
That screed sure looks alot better than using a "straight" 2X !
Hey Mike, great vid as always. Perhaps run the engine exhaust through the handlebars of the screed. That’ll warm your hands! Cheers and Merry Christmas from Canada!
They charge us 10.00 per yd for mid range here in ocean park wa. And I still use it.
Found me a new concrete channel! Been trying to get the courage up to pour a 20×25 slab for a building after watching victory for 3 years 😆
You can do it!
@@MikeDayConcrete I hope so it's going to be a nightmare and costly if it don't go well lol..Thanks for the response!
Any reason for the gas powered screed over the battery? Have you noticed any decrease in battery life with the electric in colder months?
How come you have to add the accelerator in manually
do you need blankets if its in a building and you have heaters
Do you use native stone or lime stone?
30 degrees isnt too bad give it a couple weeks you will be pouring in single digits
I've wondered about heated aggregate as well. When I use 140 degree water the mix still only comes out at 55 degrees. Concrete is under 10% water so the hot water doesn't do a whole lot but it does make a difference. I poured on Friday with hot water and no accelerator but I used so much water reducer that my W/C ratio was only .4. We were off it in 3 hours.
Up here in Canada we steam our sand. That really helps
What was the driver putting in?
Mike, where can I get one of those extension chutes? Or is it homemade ?
I get the chute at White Cap Construction
Excellent!
Now all I need is a Luke, a Darrin and a Harvey😂
Hello. YOU MUST ALWAYS STATES temperature's in both DEGREES FAHRENHEIT and DEGREES CENTIGRADE for your worldwide viewers!! Andrew
Got it!
Sorry to say Mike but that is definitely more than a 7 or 8 slump. We pour lots of commercial concrete with testing all the time. I know a 10-12 slump when I see one
Mike what are the bean boots?
probably L.L.Bean (Maine)
at 21.50 when he's talking about the boots. Bean boots half rubber half leather
Yes LL BEAN
Yup, LL Bean
