The above referenced Mix Design Program is a tool that we utilize, often as a first step, in evaluating a “best approach” to the design of a mix for a particular application – such as slip-form paving, curb and gutter, architectural wall panels, molded precast, etc. This is a fundamentally important tool since it will provide some guidance on how to evaluate locally available materials for compaction, rheology, etc. .

As stated, we believe that this program is essential to understanding how to “approach” a desired mix performance specification. What this program, by itself, does not do is indicate the specifics of other, needed, mix ingredient information – such as impact of angularity of sand and rock; or how paste quality/mortar fraction can be optimized and/or which admixture types and what loading rate works best.

​

We have a great deal of experience in optimizing mix design(s) of dense weight, lightweight and ultra-lightweight specifications. Additionally, we have extensive experience with a complete range of admixture types, as well as brands.

​

Optimizing mix designs for performance properties and at the same time, optimizing for cost efficiency, is very much how we routinely assist in providing on-going value to our customers.
