Abstract:
1. A self-contained concrete curing apparatus that is adapted to be moved to remote locations at the site of concrete construction so as to be able to provide water from a water source onto a concrete object to aid in curing the concrete object, the apparatus comprising: a portable power source; an applicator that applies moisture to the concrete object; a pump that is powered by the portable power source, wherein the pump receives water from the water source and provides pressurized water to the applicator so that moisture is applied to the concrete object; a controller electronically coupled to the pump and configured to control activation of the pump so that the pump only periodically applies moisture to the concrete object; a movable chassis onto which the power source, the pump, and the controller are mounted, wherein the chassis is sized so as to be movable between construction locations such that the apparatus can automatically apply moisture to the concrete object over a period of time to facilitate curing of the concrete object.
