Project Profiles

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

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.

300 yards into a 950-yard pour, traffic threatened to stall progress and rack up costs. NITROcrete™ loads held their temperature when others failed. Loads that spent 95 minutes in transit held temperature within specification.
