Request a Concrete Cooling Quote
Send the specification and the pour date. We will tell you what the cooling takes, and whether nitrogen is the right way to get there.
The fastest way to a real number
There is no rate card for this, and any company that gives you one before seeing your specification is guessing. Cooling scope is driven by the temperature drop required, the volume, the placement rate, and the conditions on the day. Send those and you get a real answer instead of a range.
The button below opens an email with the whole checklist already filled in. Complete what you know, leave the rest blank, and send it. Partial information is fine, it just changes how precise the first reply can be.

What we ask for, and why each one matters
- Maximum placement temperature. The number the inspector holds you to. Everything else is sized backwards from it.
- Peak and differential limits. On mass concrete these usually matter more than the placement number, and they change how much cooling is worth buying.
- Volume and placement rate. Volume sets the total; rate sets whether the system can keep pace with your trucks.
- Pour date and duration. Continuous placements need supply staged with margin. A twelve-hour pour is a different scope from a two-hour one.
- Mix design. Cementitious content drives the heat you are fighting. SCM replacement changes it significantly.
- Ambient and material temperatures. Aggregate is the largest thermal mass in the mix, so its temperature moves the answer more than the air does.
- Plant or placement. Long hauls in hot conditions reheat a load, which changes where cooling should happen.
- One-off or repeating. This decides whether you want a mobile setup or an installed system. See the two configurations.
What happens next
- We read the specification and come back with questions if anything is ambiguous. Usually there is at least one.
- We size the cooling and tell you which configuration fits.
- You get a scope and a price, including standby and remobilisation terms so a weather delay does not produce a surprise invoice.
- If a simpler method gets you inside spec, we say so at step one rather than step four.
We will tell you when you do not need us. If chilled water or ice gets you there, that is the cheaper answer and you should take it. Saying so costs us one job and earns the next five.
