Controlling the internal heat of a concrete mix is a technical requirement that has a significant impact on the final product. While traditional methods like ice or chilled water have served the industry for decades, the shift toward temperature controlled concrete systems utilizing liquid nitrogen (LN) is redefining what is achievable on the job site.…

Safety is often discussed in terms of regulations and standards. But for those on the ground, safety means the difference between a productive shift and a life-altering event. NITROcrete believes that true site safety is a fundamental commitment to the physical and mental well-being of every worker on the site. As we look at the…

Construction doesn’t stop just because the temperature drops. When the thermometer dips, the chemistry of concrete changes, and pouring in cold weather is a high-stakes balancing act. Get it right, and the structure is sound. Get it wrong, and you’re looking at compromised strength and durability. Understanding the thresholds of "cold weather" and the specific…

Project Overview The Mile Long Bridge carries Interstate 294 traffic across the BNSF rail yards and the Des Plaines River in southwest Chicago, Illinois. The iconic bridge was rebuilt from 2019-2023 so it could continue to support its average traffic load of 150,000 vehicles per day while reducing its impact to the waterways and railroad…

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…
