Project Profiles

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.

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.

With high ambient temperatures and a high cement mix, finishers couldn't believe how easy NITROcrete™ was to work with.
