CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE:CX) announced today that
it completed its largest Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) project in
the United Kingdom, which involved the first use of its
powerfloating technology.
Powerfloating represents an evolution in the RCC pavement
process, achieving an engineered solution that lays fast and
features the appearance and durability of a conventional concrete
surface. CEMEX supplied over 40,000 tons of RCC using powerfloating
for this project, a purpose-built storage area located in East
England.
“This project was a great achievement. It was not only the
largest area that we have laid in the UK with RCC, but also an
opportunity for us to use powerfloating technology for the first
time. Powerfloating provides our customer with a pavement solution
that combines the strength and durability of concrete with the ease
of asphalt construction,” said Garry Gregory, Director Asphalt and
Paving Solutions, CEMEX UK. “RCC alone delivers significant cost
savings of up to 30% over traditional pavements, and now with
powerfloat technology, RCC offers a significantly harder wearing
surface that’s more aesthetically pleasing.”
Powerfloated RCC’s extremely hard-wearing surface is produced by
spraying a specially designed admixture onto the RCC before
powerfloating and curing. This creates a more closed, even surface
than the more textured appearance of natural RCC. The smooth cement
paste created during this process offers increased abrasion
resistance, making it attractive for high stress areas.
CEMEX R&D, Innovation, and Business Development projects are
part of the company’s global R&D collaboration network, headed
by CEMEX Research Center based in Switzerland.
