HTC-5000 CONCRETE

Concrete is the most consumed material in the world and is used for foundations of rotating or critical machinery.  Bill Spitzer & Associates utilizes the HTC-5000 as a convenient concrete for critical foundations that allows epoxy grouting in 3 days to 7 days.  This is accomplished by a high early compressive strength development and available anywhere in North America.

For this solution, our goal is to provide a unique concrete, which enables contractors, installers, engineers, or owners the ability to decrease weeks (20+ days) of idle or curing time.  Furthermore, Bill Spitzer & Associates provides on-site technical assistance while manufacturing, placing, and curing the high early ready-mix concrete.  Here is how we achieve that:

"BEFORE"

• Concrete Formulation

  • The HTC-5000 is a proprietary and high early concrete, which is specifically formulated for any application that requires a quick turnaround and dimensional stability. Furthermore, the specialized concrete can be used for large skid filling as a replacement for non-shrink grout, new construction foundations, and large equipment restoration.

  • Due to the geographical area in which Bill Spitzer & Associates operates, we have the ability to adjust the concrete to the locally available raw materials in that area.

  • Generally, the concrete incorporates the advantages and benefits of different types of cementitious materials, aggregate sizes, low water to cement ratio (W/C), polycarboxylate technologies, and other type S admixtures. On average, ASTM C-39 tests typically range 2,000-4,000 psi in 24 hours, 4,000-6,000 psi in 3 days, and 6,000-8,000 psi in 7 days.

• Project Management

  • Bill Spitzer & Associates takes hold of the project management for scheduling, trucking, batching, pouring, and placing of the unique concrete product. We can meet on-site, digitally, or by other means to assure site configuration, application, and success.

  • We perform a full-scale trial or test batch prior to the project to sharpen the HTC-5000 field performance.

"DURING"

• On-Site Technical Guidance

  • Executing previously established plan and providing oversight during the entire project pour

  • Installing thermocouples to monitor concrete heat of hydration

  • HTC-5000 batching, spacing, placing, and pouring

  • Identification of site constraints and hurdles

  • Adapting to current weather conditions

  • Providing quality control measures and monitoring

    • Concrete field tests: Air, Slump, Unit Weight, and Temperature

    • Assuring batch tolerances are withing specification for predictable outcomes

    • Recommending field adjustments during production for proper HTC-5000 consistency

    • Constantly monitoring concrete

  • Communicating information to batch office, drivers, & contractor

  • Adjust timing & consistency of concrete

  • Examining thermocouple data for proper internal curing

"AFTER"

• Quality Control and Assurance Reporting

  • Confirm concrete curing procedures are implemented and progressing appropriately

  • Monitor strength gain for benchmarks to remove forms and progression of grouting installation

  • Provide HTC-5000 concrete performance report
