When spring fever arrives, the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and they're also building nests in inconvenient places. Nesting season, can spell trouble for bridge maintenance engineers and contractors. Construction projects can be delayed when protective measures must be taken to preserve bird habitats. But don't worry—Phoscrete has you covered! Our concrete product works in cold temperatures and can help you complete your project on time.
It's common for bridge maintenance engineers and contractors to encounter delays due to bird nesting season. When a nest is found near a construction site, workers must cease operations until it’s determined whether the nest is active. If so, they must wait until either the eggs hatch or the nest is abandoned before they can continue working. Unfortunately, this can cause a significant delay in completing a project on time.
This is where Phoscrete comes in! Phoscrete works even in cold temperatures when nests are dormant, so there's no need to worry about delays caused by nesting season. Our concrete products set quickly and bond vigorously, even during cooler temperatures—perfect for those spring, fall and winter days when temperatures are still hovering around freezing. This means that you don't have to wait for warmer weather before continuing to work on your project; with Phoscrete, you can get started as soon as the birds fly the coop, or before they arrive!
Furthermore, our concrete product contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it both safe for birds and safer for workers exposed to it during construction. So, not only does Phoscrete help get the job done faster, it helps ensure everyone involved stays safe during the process.

If you’re a bridge maintenance professional, you know the meaning of irony. Installing rebar in concrete to reinforce it is one of the most important steps in building bridges, yet ironically, it can also lead to corrosion and concrete spalling. So, what gives? Why does rebar rust in concrete?
