Case Study

It was established that the concrete under the heated blanket
would cure significantly faster than the unheated concrete,
and the heat-spreading technology contained inside the
Powerblanket® heater would create a better curing environment
than the industry-standard curing blankets. The task at hand was
to measure the dierences.

Concrete Curing Case Study
Implications
Heated Powerblanket
The heated Powerblanket accelerated the curing rate
approximately 2.8 times more than the standard blanket
(which, for the purposes of comparison, is being treated as the
control). Aer just 3 days, the section of concrete heated by the
Powerblanket attained the equivalent strength of a test cylinder
cured under lab conditions for 7 days. By comparison, the concrete
under the standard curing blanket attained the same strength as
a cylinder cured for 2
1⁄2
days. That correlates to a curing dierence
ratio of 7:2
1⁄2
, or a rate dierence of 2.8 times.
