EdenCrete in Professional Sports Facilities
As professional sports facilities grow older, much of the original concrete is deteriorating. Differential settlement combined with years of shrinkage and structural loading cause unsafe and unsightly cracking. Concrete surfaces are abraded from supply vehicle traffic and general use, potentially cracked from alkali silica reaction or scaled from deicer chemicals. Engineers specify EdenCrete® as a vital component in the concrete to combat these chronic issues and improve durability.
In fresh concrete, EdenCrete® improves the paste to help with placement, pumping (ready-mix and shotcrete), and to accelerate finishing operations. Improvements to hardened concrete include durability, strength, permeability, resistance to abrasion and cracking, and scaling from deicer chemicals; there is also a cost savings as compared to alternative mixes. EdenCrete® provides a safer and more environmentally friendly job-site. Pour In The Strength® with EdenCrete® on your next project.
