The Problem
A large university pours 8 inch thick sidewalks to allow heavy equipment to drive over the surface. Engineers were looking for a way to decrease costs without sacrificing strength or quality.
Helix Solution
Helix was added at a dosage of 20 lb/yd in a 6 inch thick slab (concrete mix: 4000 psi, 1 inch aggregates, no SCC additives). The result? A cost savings of 15% and added strength of over 6 times that of the plain 8" concrete.
