Construction drying includes a series of methods applied to dry building materials, floors or walls in construction projects. Construction drying operations generally include the following areas:

1. Concrete Drying:

   • It may take some time for newly poured concrete to dry. This period varies depending on the thickness of the concrete, the type of aggregate used and weather conditions.

   • To speed up the concrete drying process, precautions such as providing air circulation, temperature control and, if necessary, covering the concrete surface can be taken.

   • It can usually take several weeks for the concrete to cure completely.

2. Wall Drying:

   • It is important to dry newly constructed walls or wall coverings. Appropriate ventilation must be provided for evaporation and withdrawal of water from the wall surface.

   • If there are moisture problems in the walls, humidity levels can be monitored using humidity sensors and dehumidifiers can be used if necessary.

3. Floor Drying:

   • Drying floors is especially important for water damage or pre-construction ground preparation. In case of water damage, air circulation or professional drying equipment can be used to remove water and dry the floor.

   • Floor drying processes are generally provided by air circulation, heating systems and humidity control.

4. Post-Construction Humidity Control:

   • Once construction is completed, humidity control is important in new buildings. A good ventilation system prevents moisture from accumulating and improves indoor air quality.

   • It is a common method to use a dehumidifier for post-construction humidity control.

5. Insulation Drying:

   • If insulation materials get wet, it is important to dry them. Wet insulation materials can reduce the performance of the material and cause mold growth.

Construction drying processes may vary depending on the characteristics of the project, the materials used and environmental conditions. It is often recommended to seek advice from an expert or contractor to evaluate specific situations arising in the project and determine appropriate drying strategies.
