Benefits

Additional Details

Engineers, architects, developers, contractors and concrete producers, all have an interest in specifying or using Fly Ash on a routine basis to improve the quality of their project and to increase their cost effectiveness. The following are some of the key benefits: Developers, Contractors and Owners: Since Fly Ash concrete is not vulnerable to deterioration as rapidly as concrete without Fly Ash is, it ensures low maintenance building that will retain their value over the long-term The improved workability of Fly Ash concrete generally ensures that the speed of construction is faster. Fly Ash concrete is easier to place and compact Fly Ash in the mix accommodates more creative designs and provides a superior more durable finished concrete Engineers and Architects: The addition of Fly Ash to the mix is a built-in insurance for later age strength gain and improved durability performance Fly Ash produces a high strength concrete that accommodates the design of thinner sections Fly Ash permits design flexibility accommodating mass concrete elements, cuvees, arches and other pleasing architectural effects Concrete Producers: Fly Ash offers flexibility in mix designs, providing a greater range of mixes. It also enables the producer to customize designs according to each customers' needs, thus providing the product a competitive advantage Fly Ash improves the flow-ability and pump-ability of the concrete, which translates into less wear and tear on the entire producer’s equipment, from batching facilities to transit vehicles and pump-lines Quality Fly Ash will result in a more predictable and consistent finished product. It can compensate for fines not found in some sands, thereby enhancing pump-ability and concrete finishing
