All quantities and temperatures of the mix will remain the same as above except the water temperature

Required Temperature of 100% Heated Water

Delivery
The temperature of the fresh concrete will also decrease as it is transported from the batch plant to the jobsite. Assumes delivery time of one hour or less. This is an approximation, actual values could be different.
