Rapid Set Low-P Cement gains traction

摘要

An October 2008 launch of CTS Cement Manufacturing Corp.'s low-permeability powder-Rapid Set Low-P Cement-targeted three markets, i.e., Missouri, Virgina, and New York/New Jersey, enabling close monitoring and collaboration with the departments of transportation, agencies, engineers, and contractors to ensure a successful introduction, the company asserts. Initial application was most widespread in Missouri, where the Department of Transportation (MoDOT) adopted the new technology for overlay work performed in downtown St. Louis. While most state DOTs in need of low-permeability concrete and freeze/thaw durability require at least one winter exposure before approving its use, CTS's long-standing relationship with MoDOT prompted the state to come on board with Low-Fs initial launch.
