Long, unpredictable transit times and locally produced high-temperature cement presented challenges for constructing two center core structure towers in Toronto.

In 2020 in Atlanta, faster pour times and the more consistent mix led to significant cost-savings for both the Ready Mix Producer and the Contractor.

Corpus Christi's iconic Harbor Bridge required mass concrete for 500-foot tall towers. High humidity and ambient temperature required extreme temperature control to avoid complications with the concrete in the forms. NITROcrete™ enabled the project to meet temperature specifications without concrete cooling tubes, saving time and expense.

When a previous liquid nitrogen application over-promised & under-delivered, NITROcrete™ temperature control experts met rigorous temperature specifications, on schedule.

BIOMEDICAL, BIONUCLEAR WASTE VAULT REQUIRED HIGH SPECIFICATION MASS CONCRETE Bionuclear waste leaves no room for error with high specification, mass concrete pours. NITROcreteTM delivered loads cooled in the 40°F/10°C range when an unexpected September heat wave threatened to ruin the customer’s high-spec job. Project Challenge Summary In the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, a ready…

When the Wisconsin Department of Transportation sought lower temperature specifcations for concrete road work, concrete cooling with liquid nitrogen caught their attention. Project Challenge Summary While specification development continues, NITROcrete collaborated with WisDOT to present solutions to solve the engineering and equipment constraints with lowering concrete temperature for concrete road work. The DOT wanted an…

Cryogenic Industrial Solutions (CIS), a leading provider of cryogenic transport trailers, tanks, equipment repairs, lease fleet and nitrogen services, announced the acquisition of NITROcrete earlier this month. NITROcrete joins Alloy Custom Products, WesMor Cryogenics, CIS Leasing and Integrity Gas Services under the CIS umbrella of companies.

When it comes to fresh benefits, a little liquid nitrogen can go a long way. When you think of liquid nitrogen and concrete, what comes to mind? Mass concrete? Systems that involve inserting equipment into trucks? Or a complex Rube Goldberg Machine-like system added to a concrete plant? If so, it’s time to take another look.…

Finishability and Concrete Cooling Quantifying the Perfect Spring Day for Concrete Construction Imagine an 84°F (29°C) day in Atlanta, Georgia. While some might call that a “cold front” late summer, it’s June. You wipe sweat from your brow and recall how long summer in Georgia lasts. It’s a long day of work, and a long…

Hot weather concreting isn't for the faint of heart. We'd hazard a hypothesis that profanity on project sites goes up proportionally with ambient temperature. In short: hot weather concrete is difficult. A simple-sounding yet familiar problem, but one with a complicated explanation. Stubborn hot weather concrete causes challenges for a variety of interconnected reasons.
