Speeding up the curing process of concrete can improve construction efficiency and help save some valuable time in a dead-line-driven project. Several measures like concreting in warm weather conditions, introducing calcium chloride to wet concrete mixture, covering concrete with a plastic sheet, etc. can help increase the rate of the concrete curing process.

These considerations can increase the hydration of cement and hence cut down the curing time. Nonetheless, one should be aware of the possible detrimental effects of these measures on concrete properties, which may endanger the structure's safety. Curing of concrete is a process by which concrete is protected against loss of moisture required for hydration and kept within the recommended temperature range.
