Certain preparations and preliminary tests are necessary for the optimum use of our rapid-hardening concretes. In a first step, tests are carried out in our laboratory and at the commissioned concrete plant to determine an exact, project-specific concrete recipe. A sample slab can then be produced under real conditions - preferably at a location without operational risk. If the test was successful, the actual slab replacement on the operating areas begins.

Precise planning of all work steps is essential for the successful installation of rapid-hardening concrete. As soon as the first few meters of a new concrete slab are filled with concrete, compaction must begin immediately - even if the concrete for the next part of the same slab is not yet on the construction site. This parallel construction process is the main difference compared to working with conventional concrete.

The right rapid-hardening concrete for your construction project

As a rule, paving with a slipform paver is suitable for large-scale renovations and repairs. Runways, for example, can be completely renovated within one construction season - and always in overnight stages. This makes it possible to renovate highways and air traffic areas without interrupting operations. However, our rapid-hardening concretes can also be paved manually.
For example, if the geometry of the refurbishment area is challenging, the concrete slabs to be replaced are not directly adjacent to each other - or if the complete replacement of an area with a slipform paver is not worthwhile. The consistency and processing time of our concretes can be ideally adapted to the needs of the construction site: With the right adjustment of the concrete admixtures, the rapid-hardening concrete meets project-specific requirements such as transportation distances, installation times and methods as well as site conditions at all times. This makes the manual installation process very flexible and is used in particular for connection work.
