Make sure all those coming into contact with the product use appropriate safety equipment and protective footwear and clothing. Concrete is an alkaline and abrasive product and can cause burns and skin disease, see
Health & Safety data sheets.
How long before the concrete goes hard?
Once Water is added to the mix at the plant, the chemical reaction commences and concrete starts to set between 1-2 hours from then. Setting times are dependent upon local weather conditions and the type of concrete ordered.
The concrete will require protective curing to prevent problems such as cracking, typically using a spray-on membrane or covering with plastic sheeting as soon as possible after placing.

Why has my concrete cracked?
The initial response to cracking is that there must have been something wrong with the concrete when it was delivered. Not so, most surface cracks in concrete slabs are usually as a result of aftercare. To learn more about why you may get cracks in your concrete, then please
