Metrocon Ready Mix Corp. provides high-strength mixes that open up vast possibilities in structural design and contribute to the sustainability of our planet.
Lower Volume Requirement: Reduces the overall carbon footprint.
Resource Efficiency: Less use of resources and longer service life due to the high strength and rigidity of the concrete mixes.
Cost Efficiency: Lowers overall construction and maintenance costs, thereby further reducing resource usage throughout the structure’s service life.
Foundation Optimization: The use of high-strength mixes reduces foundation sizes by minimizing the dead loads of superstructures.
Sustainability: Concrete is produced in local plants using locally available materials, reducing the overall carbon footprint.
Enhanced Workability: Maintains the same workability and excellent pumping properties as conventional concrete, with high early strength to allow faster project completion, offering a cost-effective solution.
Thanks to ColdCrete concrete from Metrocon Ready Mix Corp., contractors can continue placing concrete in colder weather, down to -7°C (19°F), without compromising its quality.
If concrete freezes before it sets, it loses its setting properties and may not set at all. To prevent this, Metrocon uses specialized chemicals that ensure the concrete sets before freezing.
All our products meet the performance requirements specified by CSA. Additionally, ColdCrete offers the following benefits:
Cold Weather Placement: Allows concrete placement in sub-zero temperatures without compromising quality.
Cost Efficiency: Reduces overall project costs by enabling concrete placement during the winter season.
High-Early Strength: Allows contractors to strip formwork early, reducing labor costs.
Excellent Workability: Maintains workability in cold weather without segregation or bleeding issues.
Customizable Mixes: Offers different levels of ColdCrete mixes to suit contractors’ requirements, providing more cost-effective options.
Our SCC mixes have excellent flowing properties, making them ideal for placing concrete in situations where consolidation using vibration is impossible. In scenarios such as confined spaces, structures with tightly placed rebars, and reinforced caisson structures, SCC is an excellent choice. SCC can also be used to create beautiful and complex structural components that are exposed and require a superior finish, such as architectural walls, curves, and more.
- No vibration needed for consolidation.
- Ideal for the tightest rebar reinforcement conditions.
- Excellent choice for achieving an architectural finish.
- Sustainable solution due to superior compressive strength and high-early strength properties, reducing the overuse of conventional concrete.
