The severity of the Canadian winters has, in the past, and does now, affect the construction business. Not only does it lower the efficiency of the working men, it affects the quality of the finished product. This is particularly noticeable in concrete construction where: 1.The formwork is erected more carelessly. 2. Batching weights are less accurate due to human failure and frost affecting the moving parts of the scales. 3. Placing and vibrating are poorly done due to the men being cold.
