Concrete surface protection may have avoided interruption to construction work in Peterborough during a recent period of bad weather.
Heavy rain meant the planned work to the city centre could not go ahead, reported the BBC.
In particular, the planned special cement surface for St John's Square could not be laid during inclement weather over the summer months.
With rain and frost blankets, cementitious surfaces can be protected against the elements, ensuring that they set naturally through the intended chemical process.
This helps to ensure strength and longevity, compared with structures set either through freezing or by evaporation during periods of direct, intense sunlight.
Concrete surface protection may not be able to allow building work to continue in torrential conditions; however, it can help to protect against unexpected risks.
With the Met Office forecasting a mixed and showery outlook for the UK over the coming three weeks, protection against sudden showers could help to reduce the risk for building work taking place across the country.
