Maximizing ROI on New Data Center Construction with Waterproof Concrete Materials
Data centers are one of the fastest-growing sectors in today’s built environment. The industry has seen an absolute boom in new construction especially over the last several years, driven by the rapidly growing demand for big data processing and cloud computing – most notably in the AI and LLM technology realms. Obviously, data centers come […]
A Waterproof Concrete Solution Engineered for Wastewater Processing and Water Treatment Facilities
Water processing plants and wastewater treatment facilities pose a number of unique challenges to builders. Typically in construction, water and concrete do not play well together: the concrete material breaks down, the steel rebar rusts and corrodes… Overall, the life of concrete structures tends to be significantly reduced in exceptionally wet environments. Obviously, wet environments […]
Not All Hydrophobic Concrete Admixtures Are Created Equal: Achieving True Long-Term ROI for New Construction
The effectiveness of any hydrophobic (water hating) admixture depends upon its unique chemical composition. Considering there are many different formulations on the market today, obviously not all hydrophobics are created equal. While Hycrete has undergone rigorous scientific testing and has proven itself in many real-world use cases, there are a number of “competing” admixtures which […]
Meeting the Unique Challenges of Seawall Construction Projects for Extended Life and Corrosion Protection
Seawalls pose some of the most challenging conditions faced by modern construction projects. Harsh environments and heavy wear are the norm – the constant impact of waves and water ingress combined with sand shifting, erosion, and chloride corrosion. Withstanding those conditions for decades to come while minimizing maintenance/repair costs requires the use of chemically-advanced concrete […]
Supporting Global Sustainability in the Built Environment with Better Concrete Materials
The global construction industry is focusing more than ever on long-term sustainability. Through the widespread adoption of sustainable concrete materials and greener construction methods, the built environment worldwide is striving to reduce embodied carbon, creating concrete structures that look better and last longer in the process. Rising to these challenges along with the increasing demand […]
America’s Infrastructure, Campuses, and Housing Development Drive the Future of Sustainable Concrete Construction
Looking toward the future, the American construction industry is focusing more than ever on long-term sustainability. Through the widespread adoption of more environmentally friendly concrete materials and greener construction methods, the built industry strives to reduce its carbon footprint while creating structures that look better and last longer.
Reducing embodied carbon in concrete construction
The construction industry’s use of concrete accounts for a huge percentage of the carbon emissions we generate as a society. Mostly, that’s due simply to the sheer amount of concrete we use. To put it into perspective, concrete is the second-most-consumed material in the world next only to water. As you can probably imagine, all of that material use comes with a whole lot of embodied carbon.
Hycrete Partners with Distributor in Mexico to Expand Our Global Supply Chain
With Hycrete now becoming the industry leader for long-term concrete protection, it was necessary to expand our global network. These additional distribution channels will help us better serve our nearshore and offshore customers, as well as strengthen our supply chain here at home.
Hycrete’s Guide to New York’s Sustainable Building Code – The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA)
New York continually strives to be amongst the nation’s leading states in terms of sustainability and environmental outreach. To that end, the state officially adopted one of America’s first eco-focused building and energy codes with 2019’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act – CLCPA. The CLCPA1 is essentially a set of carefully-orchestrated climate laws designed […]
Long-Term Concrete Protection for Infrastructure Projects and DOT Customers
Hycrete has long been the leading choice in long-term concrete protection for the American transportation sector and beyond. From bridges and decks to roadways and barriers, our chemically-advanced admixtures have extended the life of critical infrastructure across the nation for more than 20 years. In fact, it was just over a decade ago that Hycrete […]
