Pouring Concrete at 18 Degrees.
Your Cure Log Is in Three Places.
It's 18 degrees and you're pouring concrete. The heated enclosure log, the blanket placement record, the temperature monitoring — all in different places, if they exist at all. ACI 306R doesn't care about your good intentions at the 28-day break.
“We poured column caps in January at 16 degrees with full heated enclosure protection. When the inspector asked for our temperature logs at the 28-day mark, I pulled up POD on my phone and showed him 14 days of timestamped readings. He stamped it approved in 3 minutes. Old way, that would have been a week of document hunting.”
— Concrete Superintendent, Northern Tier Commercial GC
Cold Weather Documentation: Before & After POD
The protection was probably adequate. The documentation was not.
Scattered temp logs across three locations
Paper binder in the trailer, text messages from the foreman, and a spreadsheet the QC manager updates when he remembers
No blanket placement records
The crew knows where the insulating blankets went — until someone asks 28 days later when core breaks come back failing
Heater run-time guesswork
Diesel heater hours reconstructed from fuel receipts and memory — not from actual logged runtime records the inspector will accept
ACI 306R violations from missing data
89% of ACI 306R citations trace to documentation failure, not procedural failure. The protection was there. The proof was not.
Frozen pours discovered at 28-day break
Core breaks that come back at 2,100 PSI instead of 4,000 PSI are not a curing problem — they are a monitoring problem you had 28 days ago
Unified cold weather dashboard
Every temperature reading, blanket log, and heater runtime flows into one timestamped record — accessible from the field, office, or owner review meeting
Automated blanket placement tracking
Voice-log blanket zone coverage at placement. POD records location, coverage area, and confirmation time — no memory required 28 days later
Heater runtime logging with fuel reconciliation
Log start/stop times by voice. POD builds a runtime timeline per pour zone that satisfies ACI 306R inspector requirements
Real-time ACI 306R compliance status
POD flags any temperature reading below your compliance threshold within minutes — not days. The pour gets corrected, not replaced.
Temperature alerts before the freeze threshold
Configurable early-warning alerts at +5°F above threshold give your crew time to add blanket layers or boost heater output before a violation occurs
Your Project Season — From First Pour to Frozen Risk
Each pour window below the freeze threshold requires ACI 306R-compliant protection and documentation. POD logs it automatically.
Cold Weather Metrics — ACI Winter Compliance
Real KPIs from your field voice reports — weather recovery performance and material budget protection, computed automatically.
Weather Recovery
Material Budget
Built for Winter Concrete Teams
Every feature designed for the reality of logging compliance data at 5 a.m. in 12-degree weather.
Voice Temperature Logging
Speak readings as you take them. POD timestamps every entry — no question about when data was captured versus when it was written down.
Blanket Zone Coverage Map
Record insulating blanket placement by pour zone. Each confirmation is timestamped and geotagged — reconstruction-proof documentation.
ACI 306R Compliance Tracker
POD checks every reading against your specified concrete temperature minimums and flags non-compliance in real time — not at 28-day break.
Early-Warning Freeze Alerts
Configurable alerts fire 5°F before your compliance threshold. Your crew gets time to act. The pour stays in spec.
Curing Duration Clock
POD tracks elapsed curing time per pour against ACI 306R minimum durations by temperature range — ensuring no element is stripped before spec allows.
One-Click Compliance Export
Generate a complete cold weather concrete protection report for any pour — temperatures, blankets, heater runtime, duration — in seconds.
