Darwin Wet Season Concrete Scheduling

Darwin's wet season brings daily afternoon storms from November to April, concrete pours must be completed and protected before afternoon storms arrive. Most large Darwin concrete jobs are scheduled in the dry season (May-October). Darwin's intense UV in the dry season also requires effective wet curing or curing compounds to prevent concrete cracking from rapid moisture loss. worksafe.nt.gov.au
