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 […]
