High Performance Concrete

High Strength Readymix Concrete

When you are placing concrete in harsh conditions where aggressive chemicals or high levels of abrasion are present then you need high-performance concrete that can provide the highest levels of durability and technical performance.

The technology used in the formulation of CEMEX MicroTech ensures high strength, low permeability concrete with enhanced resistance to sulphate and chloride attack.

Coupled with increased levels of flexural strength and improved resistance to impact and abrasion, CEMEX MicroTech is the high-performance concrete that will deliver in the most challenging of environments.

Case Study

CEMEX’s MicroTech was the perfect choice to replace SUEZ’s transfer station bays, where the harsh conditions of multiple truck movements and on-site shovel impacts required a high performance concrete.

MicroTech is CEMEX’s range of advanced concretes, carefully formulated with microsilica and the latest admixture technology to produce high performance concretes with exceptional levels of durability in the harshest of environments.

SUEZ, a major player in environmental services, needed to replace their recycling bays at one of their Transfer Stations. The bays are used for retaining heavy recycling materials and it is necessary they withstand multiple truck movements and on-site shovel impacts when moving materials around. To ensure a long yard life, contractor TR Civil Engineering needed a solution that was durable and resistant to continuous impact and CEMEX’s Microtech 50 offered all the properties they required.
