High Early Strength Concrete
The critical ingredient when time is of the essence.
High Early Strength Concrete is your first choice material for time-sensitive concrete works for civil construction and critical infrastructure projects. High Early Strength Concrete delivers structural strength of 20MPa in just one hour, and its durability and low shrinkage make it far superior to ordinary Portland cement, especially for time-critical applications.
High Early Strength Concrete is a fast-setting concrete ideal for projects that require quick turnarounds and minimal disruption.
What is High Early Strength Concrete?
High Early Strength Concrete is a superior performance, rapid hardening hydraulic cement that can be used to create concrete, mortars, and grouts that achieve structural strength in one hour.
Engineered for low shrinkage and superior resistance to chemical attack, High Early Strength Concrete maximises service life and minimises maintenance.
It is a calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, which provides it with properties that make it faster setting and more durable than regular portland cement.
What can it be used for?
Eifers has successfully used High Early Strength Concrete for airport taxiways and runways, freeway and arterial road slab replacements, public transport commuter interchanges and stops, and many other projects.
It is ideal for a diverse range of interior and exterior projects including but not limited to:
Roads
Bridges
Runways
Tunnels
Tilt-up
Precast
Sidewalks
Floors
and many other applications
What are its benefits?
Speed
Fast setting, High Early Strength Concrete achieves drive-on strength in just one hour and is at full strength within 24 hours compared to portland cement, which takes up to 24-72 hours to achieve drive-on strength and a month to achieve full strength.
Durability
High Early Strength Concrete properties maintain structural utility for up to 4x as long as portland concrete, which makes for longer service life with fewer replacement requirements.
Its low shrinkage qualities significantly reduce defective tendencies such as cracking.
Cost savings
Faster pours mean reduced on-site work times, which results in significant savings on line items like road traffic management, enabling you to achieve substantially lowered total project costs.
Convenience
High Early Strength Concrete enables projects to be completed sooner, allowing for minimal disruption to vital services and a quicker return to business as usual.
