USMC Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, CA ekkomaxxUSMC Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, CA
Utilized ekkomaxx™ in foundation floor slab and wall applications to expedite warehouse construction process.

CERATECH’s ekkomaxx cement technology succeeded in significantly reducing the construction time for a medium scale project in adverse conditions. There were no issues with the material during the construction process and everyone involved was thoroughly impressed and would like to use in future applications.

ekkomaxx Full Depth Slab Replacement

On February 27, 2008, the Georgia Department of Transportation executed placement of 12 cubic yards of ekkomaxx, CERATECHs high performance Non- Portland cement concrete. An area of failed slab sections measuring approximately 30 x 12 x 10” on Hwy I-16 near Dublin,Georgia with large transverse and longitude cracking and with 2-3” of settlement was removed by GA DOT crews.

GreatWhiteRapid Full Depth Slab Replacement
Virginia DOT June 2009

April 2009 - VDOT Concrete Program expressed interest in evaluating CERATECH’s GreatWhite® cement concrete as an alternative to Portland and calcium aluminate cement based concretes for full depth slab replacement applications. GreatWhite® was submitted to VDOT under the Special Product Approval List. This cleared the way for the contractor working these types of applications, to set up a location for a demonstration of the GreatWhite® material. The location selected was I-295 bypass. (4) Slab replacement sites were identified to be replaced during the week of June 15-19, 2009.

GreatWhiteFull Depth Slab Replacement
Gilroy, CA September 2008

On the evening of 18 September, CALTRANS replaced an existing shattered and settled slab on US 101 freeway using GreatWhite®. The purpose of this placement was for CALTRANS officials to evaluate CERATECHS ultra green, GreatWhite®‘rapid cement as a high performance repair material. CALTRANS currently subcontracts slab replacement work and is considering performing it themselves, so this was a training and evaluation evolution of the CALTRANS crew as well. This was also the first heavy traffic application for CERATECH’s GreatWhite® rapid cement.

GreatWhiteTUBESCOPE Powder Coat Oven Base
December 2008

Tuboscope is an international producer of drill pipe assemblies for the oil and gas industry. During the powdercoating process, pipes are sprayed with a paint-like finish, then rolled into an oven via a rail system and “baked” at a temperature of 450°F for several hours. This oven installation requires a heat resistant durable concrete base capable of withstanding long term thermal cycling The oven floor slab measured 25’ x 60’ x 1’, and would require 56 cuyds of Firerok®.

GreatWhiteFireRok™ Partial Depth Slab Repair
Station (NAS) Patuxent River, December 2008

On 15 and 16 Dec. 2009, CERATECH Field Engineering travelled to NAS Patuxent River to provide technical assistance and instruction in the placement of Firerok® in the jet engine testing facility, known as the Hush House. This was a partial depth application where the existing material under the test stand had deteriorated from exposure to the high temperatures associated with jet engine testing. The test stand mounts the engine horizontally and the thrust is vectored into a series of baffles. While the surface to be repaired doesn’t directly receive the heat and thrust of high-power testing, it does receive the high temperatures radiated from the engine and heat transferred from the stand into the anchor points cast into the slab. CERATECH’s thermal resistant cement, Firerok® was specified as the repair material for its ability to withstand the high temperatures without degradation and achieve a 650 psi flexural strength @ 28 days.

KEMROK-BSulfur Distribution Terminal
Texas Molten Sulfur Trenches - February 2010

A chemical processing facility utilized KEMROK® a chemically resistant, high early, non- Portland bulk cement for construction of a 705 foot long trench designed to carry molten sulfur for processing. Normally, these trenches would be constructed with high silica fume ( micro silica ) portland cement in order to resist the corrosive effects of molten sulfur and sulfuric acid. (Sulfur temperatures reach 300°F.)
