It’s a simple formula: increasing the structural lifespan of new construction increases your lifetime ROI. However, as every builder knows, that’s easier said than done.
The major challenge is the prevention of water intrusion, which otherwise can quickly lead to concrete damage, corrosion, and a host of other issues. So the first step toward maximizing your ROI is choosing an effective waterproof concrete. Traditionally, that meant going with crystalline growth admixtures – which frankly offer subpar protection. For more information on that issue, see our blog – Not All Hydrophobic Admixtures Are Created Equal.
That’s why more and more builders are turning to chemically-advanced Hycrete admixtures. Our hydrophobic concrete solutions help you achieve longer-lasting construction, protecting both your bottom line and the sustainability of your project.
Advanced Concrete Waterproofing for a Better ROI
Hycrete significantly boosts the return on investment for virtually all types of buildings by reducing maintenance costs and extending the life of structures.
- Reduce Your Construction Costs up to 30% – Hycrete is typically 20-30% cheaper than an installed membrane. The reduced initial cost and extended life cycle both maximize your long-term ROI.
- No Need for Installed Membranes – Traditional waterproofing methods can be a drain on both time and budget. Hycrete cuts down on these costs by eliminating the need for separate waterproofing applications, such as installed membranes. The savings are substantial, both in the initial application and in reduced maintenance and repair costs over the lifespan of the structure.
- Simpler Construction – Hycrete simplifies the construction process by eliminating the need for external waterproofing methods, reducing the number of steps and the amount of materials involved.
- Gaining LEED Credits – Hycrete is a water-based admixture for the protection of concrete engineered for better sustainability. Our admixtures allow for post-life concrete to be recycled, and earns you LEED credits, supporting today’s green building projects.
- Protect Your Below-Grade Investment – Hycrete is especially advantageous for below-grade structures that consistently see hydrostatic pressure. Drastically reducing the permeability of concrete materials, Hycrete delivers enhanced water resistance regardless of hydrostatic pressure levels.
- Comprehensive Protection – Hycrete offers a four-point protection program that includes project review, concrete mix design review, details, quality assurance, and a 10-year performance based warranty.
The Leading Concrete Protection Strategy for American Infrastructure Projects
Since 2003, Hycrete has increasingly become the go-to solution for protecting critical infrastructure and related construction projects. Found within bridges, roadways and barriers across the nation, our chemically-advanced admixtures provide comprehensive protection that extends from the surface down to the structural elements. That means better longevity, better sustainability, and a better ROI throughout the transportation industry.
