Abstract:

Advanced workflows enable contractors to identify and correct issues before the concrete is placed, providing cost reductions and production increases, while automated machine control systems deliver surface tolerances that exceed traditional human capabilities. These digital workflows can optimize how concrete is placed, monitored, and verified, as well as improve quality control timelines.

Abstract:

Abrasion caused by moving equipment or flowing water can wear away concrete’s surface and render it unfit for service. Kryton International’s Hard-Cem®, an integral hardening admixture based on a unique mineral-metal particle, offers a solution. Its tough microstructure can double the resistance of concrete to abrasive and erosive wear.
