All cement and concrete products used in this project had to meet State of Arizona specifications and requirements. Cement All, Mortar Mix and Mortar Mix Plus were used for horizontal and vertical repairs. WunderFixx was used to smooth out the repaired surfaces. Because temperatures ranged from 108° to 120°F, the crew used hot-weather concrete techniques.
Cement All and Mortar Mix were used to fix the elevation and the imperfections around the perimeter of the parking structure and to even out the elevation. The materials were chosen because specifications for the concrete repair work required a fast-setting, high-strength material.
Civil Engineer Edward K. Rice founded CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation and began developing Type-K Shrinkage-compensating concrete technology in the 1960's. Since then, CTS now has more than 70 products for construction professionals, homeowners, and do-it-yourselfers. As an employee-owned company, CTS has a personal stake in our customers’ and company’s success.
The runway lights on the airfield needed to be replaced, and spec requirements required a product that would be close to 5,000 psi in a 24-48 hours. After Concrete Mix with Flow Control and Set Control showed 7,900 psi in 24 hours, the material was used in the replacement of 26 lights. By using two bags at a time, the project schedule dropped from two months down to three weeks.
The manufacturing process of reinforced concrete pipes includes inspecting them and making necessary repairs in accordance with TxDOT specifications. The repairs are considered Type D repairs, but also fall under Type B when fast-setting materials such as Rapid Set cement products are used. Mortar Mix was used to repair chipped corners and cracks on the concrete pipes.
The Colorado Tower opened as Austin, Texas’ first high rise in 10 years. In the construction of the 2 outdoor patios Rapid Set Cement All and Mortar Mix was used to meet the specifications that called for high-bond and early strength upon the waterproofing membrane.
Mortar Mix Plus (MMP) was used to level an elevated-deck bus exit ramp. Since this was a fast-track project and MMP achieves 3,500 psi in 3 hours, the contractor was able to meet the deadline.
Cement All and Mortar Mix were used for structural repairs on the 850,000-square-foot beverage manufacturing and distribution hub. WunderFixx was then used to smooth the surfacers before paint was applied.
BCSA cement offers design and construction professionals a chance to work with a concrete mixture that does not shrink and sets quickly, reaching 4500 psi compressive strength in about one hour.
With concrete construction and repair, use of fast-setting cementitious materials is often the best way to ensure crews can work around the weather and traffic challenges. The key to success often is in specifying rapid-hardening, durable cement products that are easy to mix and place. Products used include CR Concrete Resurfacer, Corrosion Inhibitor, DOT Repair Mix, V/O Repair Mix, and WunderFixx.
This 4,435-square-foot house, which sits on the Majestic mine claim of the 1870s gold rush in Julian, was built with 5 feet of polystyrene foam, covered by 8 inches of concrete. Product used was Type K shrinkage-compensating cement.
The historic restoration project includes converting the 1915 concrete-and-brick office building into 300 apartments, 10,000 square feet of retail space, and a 500-space parking garage. Products used include Mortar Mix, V/O Repair Mix, and WunderFixx.
Belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cement has been around since 1975. Its hydration reaction consumes all the free water at a very early age in the creation of ettringite crystals. This means flatwork doesn’t bleed and therefore pores and capillaries are much smaller than those created in portland cement concrete by rising bleed water. The result is lower permeability and very low drying shrinkage.
Research shows test reveals the hard truth about exterior claddings.
The January 17, 1994, Northridge 6.6 earthquake did immense damage to many of the region’s vital traffic arteries. One serious disruption was the closing of the I-10 Santa Monica freeway due to the collapse of two bridges. The 1-10 is the busiest freeway in the nation. C.C. Myers completely rebuilt the two bridges 74 days ahead of schedule and received a $14.5 million bonus. Products used include Rapic Set Cement, Rapid Set Flowable Fill, and SET Control.
The contractor had such confidence in UltraFlow that the site was turned back to the mill personnel on time, after only 7 hours. Loaded charge cars were traveling across the rails within minutes and the mill was able to continue operating as scheduled. Product used was UltraFlow 4000/8.
The shower drains were too flat and not draining properly. Cement All was applied after chipping around the drain to create a slope. It was chosen because of its high bond properties and ability to be applied at a thin application.
The campus parking structure was in dire need of structural repairs. The property owner wanted a permanent, durable solution that could withstand the corrosive seaside environment and be installed quickly within five months. Products used include Cement All, Mortar Mix, V/O Repair Mix, and WunderFixx.
Approximately 800 square feet of slab needed to be repaired, with the majority of repairs taking place on the ramp at the entrance to the garage. Because the building was still under construction, the crew had to work around heavy forklift traffic and needed a fast-setting cement material for the work. Product used was Cement All.
The Pentagon Renovation restores or replaces all building system components. Concrete repair, both interior and exterior, is a fundamental and necessary part of the renovation. PENREN, the governing agency for the renovations, dictated the repairs must last 50 years. Products used include Concrete Mix and Mortar Mix.
