walkable

In this case I think it just means walkable, i.e. dry enough to be walked on. There is some unconventional use of -bar in this text, like mattläggingsbar - carpetable, that is, you can lay a carpet upon it.

workable

in this context, such as painted over etc. after 1-3 hours- seems to me.
