L&L Concrete is placing more concrete walls and footings today. Insulated construction blankets are in place to prevent the newly placed concrete from cooling too quickly due to the low temperatures we have experienced lately. The heat produced by the chemical reaction of hydration within the concrete will be retained within the concrete and forms by the blankets.
