Optimizing Sustainable Design & Value

For over 60 years Type K shrinkage-compensating concrete has been meeting stringent sustainable design requirements long before today’s initiatives influenced industry standards. Its dimensional stability and durability affords unmatched design versatility, helps minimize the carbon footprint, reduces life-cycle costs, and maximizes asset life.

Performance Advantages

• Reduces portland cement content and optimizes total cementitious content while improving performance
• Reduces reinforcement requirements by minimizing load transfer details, optimizing structural reinforcement designs, and eliminating temperature and shrinkage steel
• Improves installation efficiencies
• Helps prevent reinforcement congestion
• Reduces total volume of concrete required with potential for thinner walls and slabs
• Improves efficiencies and cost impacts with reduced mobilizations and formwork
• Eliminates pour/delay strips
