OK - the concrete in the Hoover dam is still curing...but it's in use. ;-) Check with the local concrete authorities and get their professional advice, rather than ask for opinions from users of the product.

Concrete reaches maximum strength after a cure of about 30 days. No way I would do anything for at least two weeks, and if the tower is loaded I would wait the thirty days. Not a safety issue but a long term concrete integrity issue. 73 bob de w9ge


Check with your concrete company and get their advice - I had 4000 psi delivered and poured, and the company recommended 24 hours to cure sufficiently - I waited 48 to be safe. No problems.
