Wind TurbinePORTABLE PLANT PROJECTLocation:Lu Verne, IACemstone participated in the Kossuth County wind project which added 25 towers and an additional 69.6 megawatts of clean energy to the Iowa region. Over a 6 week period, we poured approximately 12,700 cubic yards...
X Series
Cemstone has spent extensive time performing durability and customer workability testing to develop the X-SERIES mixtures that will provide the best performance results for the application. Simply ask for the X-SERIES mixture that meets your project application.
AG-CRETE®
AG-CRETE® was designed for providing the agricultural market with structurally sound concrete for applications where surface defects are less of a concern. Agricultural operations are some of the most demanding working environments. Whether it’s barnyard paving, manure pits, grain bins or silo pads, our AG-CRETE ready-mixed concrete is a proprietary mixture specifically designed for agricultural applications.
Agricultural Applications:
- Feed Bunkers
- Feed Lots
- Manure Tanks
- Manure Pits
- Livestock Slabs
- Silo Pad
Latitude
LATITUDE® is a performance-based system designed to reduce construction and contraction joints in slabs-on-ground. The Latitude system is designed specifically for each project.
All LATITUDE slabs incorporate RESOLVE®, Cemstone’s Fiber Reinforcement Matrix. Depending upon the project requirements, Cemstone’s Engineering Services will select the most appropriate fiber based on performance and economics. LATITUDE incorporates the latest in design and installation recommendations from the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
Benefits:
- Greatly reduces the number of construction and contraction joints
- Elimination of temperature and shrinkage reinforcing steel
- Reduction in slab curling
- Increased impact resistance
- Increased load-carrying capacity of the slab
- Increased durability
- Reduction in construction time, materials and labor
- Can be ground and polished
Aridus
Aridus® Rapid Drying Concrete is Cemstone’s proprietary concrete mix that reduces drying time and risks associated with excess moisture to enable faster, safer flooring installation. Aridus eliminates a major source of moisture-related flooring problems.
Aridus is ideal for use where any flooring material will be applied such as: schools, hospitals, data centers, retail and offices.
Benefits:
- Eliminates moisture issues associated with concrete
- Eliminates costly and time-consuming moisture mitigation systems or extended drying time, thereby offering schedule savings
- High-early compressive strength
- Improved drying shrinkage properties
- Low permeability
- Significant reduction in slab curling
Rapid Pave
RAPID PAVE® is Cemstone’s proprietary ultra-high early-strength product for rapid repair of concrete pavement and structures where time is a critical component of the project. RAPID PAVE gains strength quickly and allows traffic or other loading to resume just hours after the concrete is placed. Rapid Pave is ideal for repairs such as: loading docks, commercial drive thru lanes, main boulevard or highway renovations.
Uses:
- Concrete Pavements
- Parking structures
- Time sensitive structural repairs
- Cold climate repair
Benefits:
- Economical long-term solution
- Can be designed for interior or exterior applications
Self-Consolidating
Cemstone has created a family of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) mixtures designed with performance in mind. Let us put our SCC to work for you. Contact us today to discuss your projects needs.
Uses:
- Highly reinforced structural elements or elements
- Architectural structural members
- Long distant pumping applications
- Mass Concrete
- Unique forming applications
Benefits:
- Faster placement
- Improved finish
- Ease of filling restricted sections
- Improved consolidation, pumping and uniformity
- Reduced labor costs
- Increased job site safety
Lightweight Concrete
Lightweight Concrete
Cemstone can provide concrete to meet your specified unit weight and compressive strength incorporating lightweight aggregate into the concrete mixture. Typical lightweight concrete is 110 to 115 lbs/ft3 compared to conventional concrete which approximately is 145 lbs/ft3.
Cemstone has climate controlled soaking facilities at multiple locations which allows us to provide this concrete year-round.
Benefits:
- Reduction in steel members including columns, beams and footings
- Higher insulating values
- Increased fire ratings
Heavyweight Concrete
Heavyweight Concrete
Heavyweight concrete may be needed for radiation shielding or for use as a counterweight. Cemstone has provided concrete with a unit weight as high as 180 lbs/ft3 compared to conventional concrete, which is approximately 145 lbs/ft3 .
High Strength Concrete
High Strength Concrete
The need for high strength concrete is increasing so that projects can maximize the usable space in a building. Buildings are becoming taller and even bridge spans are becoming longer. Cemstone has designed, produced, and delivered high-strength concrete mixtures that exceed a compressive strength of 12,000 psi or gain strength quickly to keep projects on schedule.
Our engineers, scientists and technicians have spent countless hours studying how our highly technical mixtures perform in the plastic and hardened states. Our team considers the following properties when designing high strength concrete:
- Compressive strength vs. age
- Shrinkage
- Permeability
- Freeze-thaw durability characteristics
- Creep
- Modulus of elasticity
- Placing ability (ability to be pumped)
- Mass concrete effects
