Smart Additives
* Tests carried out under controlled conditions in a laboratory.
NOTABLE REDUCTION OF COSTS
- Production costs. By increasing the average characteristic resistance by 30%, it is possible to reduce material requirements, both concrete and steel, which can save up to 10% of the total operating budget of the structure.
- Maintenance costs. They are minimized as the useful life of works and infrastructures is increased.
- Labour costs. Reducing the execution times of work results in a reduction of costs.
REDUCTION AMOUNTS OF CEMENT NEEDED
30%
IMPROVEMENT
ECOLOGICAL CONCRETES
- Due to reductions in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, resulting from savings of up to 30% in cement and other raw materials.
