hydrophobic concrete Concrete is an unrivaled construction material that constantly evolves to meet new demands for value (More) Concrete is an unrivaled construction material that constantly evolves to meet new demands for value and sustainability. At Hycrete, we are proud to be part of this evolution. We provide concrete producers, builders, designers, and owners with modern concrete construction solutions that deliver cost savings, schedule acceleration, and sustainable construction solutions. We focus on mission-critical subgrade, grade, and super grade water and corrosion protection. Applications include deep foundation slabs and walls, podium and plaza decks, roof, parking and tunnel structures.
Our technologies deliver integral waterproofing that can eliminate the need for external membranes, coatings and sheeting treatments. With our solutions, concrete is batched with Hycrete liquid admixtures to achieve hydrophobic performance (less than 1% absorption under BSI-1881 122). Hycrete Admixtures transform concrete from an open network of capillaries and cracks into an ultra-low absorptivity, waterproof, protective building material. Our Hycrete Elite Waterproofing System consists of Hycrete hydrophobic concrete delivered through local concrete suppliers, construction support, and a comprehensive performance warranty. The key feature of this construction approach is the elimination of the entire external waterproofing process. The benefits are extensive:
Simplified design
Reduced material demands
Increased site mobility
Safer conditions
Project acceleration
Hycrete concrete provides a high value, sustainable approach to waterproofing and corrosion protection through an evolution in performance concrete construction. (Less)
Aluminum Formwork Http://www.wallties.com WTF aluminum formwork is a rapid paced construction system for forming cast (More) Http://www.wallties.com WTF aluminum formwork is a rapid paced construction system for forming cast in place concrete structures. WTF provides aluminum formwork for reinforced concrete construction of single and multi-story buildings and enables the walls and slab to be placed monolithically in the same operation. This increases efficiency, and also produces an extraordinarily strong structure with excellent concrete finish.
Due to the fine tolerances achieved in the aluminum formwork components, consistent concrete shapes and finishes are obtained floor after floor, building after building, conforming to the most exacting standards of quality and accuracy. This allows plumbing and electrical fittings to be prefabricated with the certain knowledge that there will be an exact fit when formwork is assembled. The dimensional accuracy of the concrete work also results in consistent fittings of doors and windows. The smooth finish of the concrete greatly reduces or eliminates the need for costly plastering.
The WTF formwork system has been used in the construction of hundreds of thousands of structures including residential and commercial structures in single story, low rise, and high-rise construction. It has been proven to be very successful in the construction of mass housing projects worldwide. It is fast, simple, adaptable and very cost effective.
The WTF formwork system is unique because it forms all of the concrete in the structure including, walls, floor slabs, columns, beams, stairs, window details, balconies and various decorative features in exact accordance with the architects design. No other system can match WTF formwork flexibility to handle all design conditions. The WTF system also allows for the most efficient and cost effective insulation for areas of the world where it is required for extreme temperature conditions.
The WTF system can be erected by unskilled labor and without the need for hoisting cranes. The largest panel weight is not more than 35 kgs (77 Lbs). This enables a single worker to handle the WTF formwork components. The panels and other sections are secured and fixed by steel pins and wedges with formwork ties. The only tool required is a hammer. The WTF system can save as much as 15% of the total cost of construction vs. traditional methods such as block or post and beam construction.
Systems Benefits: -
1. Requires no cranes or heavy lifting equipment.
2. Pour walls and floor slabs monolithically.
3. Remove floor slab formwork without disturbing shoring.
4. Form stairs in place as part of work cycle.
5. Requires no skilled labor.
6. Suitable for single story and high rise construction.
7. Equipment adapts to different designs.
8. No need for use of timber or plywood. (Less)
