Concreting in special conditions refers to the application of specific techniques and methods of concrete works in conditions such as extreme temperatures (low and high), high humidity, underwater works, aggressive environments, under high pressure or in areas with increased seismic risks. In such conditions, the concrete must be adapted to ensure the necessary strength, durability and safety. In cold conditions, concrete with the addition of additives to accelerate hardening is used, while in hot conditions, additives that slow down the hardening process should be used. Concreting in wet conditions or under water requires the application of special techniques, such as the use of waterproof concrete or concreting in cavities under water. In addition to the main problems when concreting in these conditions, we also use appropriate protection measures for the mentioned cases. Proper preparation of materials, control of temperature, humidity and installation technology are key to achieving the desired performance of concrete structures. In addition to the above, attention must also be paid to temperature and humidity control, as well as quality preservation during the entire concreting process.
