iCrete, a clean technology leader and the world’s premier concrete technology company, announced recently the availability in North America, the Middle East, and the Far East of customised and patented high-strength concrete mixes designed for use by providers of precast and pre-stressed concrete.

iCrete’s new product family for the precast industry will features speed in application and setting – optimising faster, more efficient turnarounds for precast moulds; exceptional reliability and workability – reducing surface defects and repairs; less cement – improving the environmental profile and lowering the carbon footprint of each project; thinner, stronger sections – offering a much wider range of engineering and architectural options; and lower costs – leveraging reductions in cement content and work hours.
Said Juan Carlos Terroba, iCrete’s chief executive officer: “We are now bringing to the precast market a proven technical breakthrough already in use for highly trafficked pavement and high-rise structures. iCrete mixes and quality systems will revolutionise the precast methods used for the construction of pre-fabricated buildings and industrial parks, as well as the building of major pipelines, sewers, bridges, roads, tunnels, and railways.”
Added Dr Manfred Sautner, senior vice president and head of iCrete product development: “We are projecting unprecedented precast and pre-stressed production savings per cubic yard, while improving workability. Moreover, according to our research, millions of dollars in public money can be saved on vast infrastructure and public works projects by adopting iCrete higher strength, clean technology in the production of precast concrete.”
