Nighttime Concrete Pours
As part of the hospital’s critical infrastructure, SMH is scheduling overnight concrete pours for floor slabs starting in April. Nighttime concrete pours are industry standard for many large-scale projects in Florida. Cooler temperatures ensure proper concrete curing and structural integrity for a hospital’s demanding scale. Staging cement trucks at night also helps prevent traffic congestion during peak daytime hours. Below is the tentative schedule for April. We encourage you to check back weekly for updates, as the schedule is subject to change.
April 7 – Central Energy Center location– 3:00 am start
April 24 – Central Energy Center location – 3:00 am start
April 28 – Hospital location – 1:00 am start
