Hello NoRetire, Are you able to share a few more details about the test you mentioned in your post? Where is this taking place, how large is the test area, what is the name of the ready-mix company that delivered the concrete, what is being poured (slab, footings, retaining wall, etc.). Many thanks, S.

My guess NoRetire is a division of CRH, formally Holcim, with a global network. I’m just wondering if this testing is also to be highlighted at the Concrete Expo in Toronto on May 18th & 19th. Seeing that the 28 day compression strength test of 32mpa should pass with flying colours.

"In an effort to lower our GHG emissions – specifically those emitted from concrete and other construction materials - and reach net zero by 2050, Aecon recently partnered with Carbon Upcycling, a manufacturer of carbon-derived additives that can help lower concrete's carbon footprint, and Dufferin Concrete to trial a low carbon concrete."
