Enhance Concrete Performance with Internal Curing
Cracks in concrete bridge decks can become direct paths to the steel reinforcement for water and chlorides, allowing the corrosion process to begin. Internal curing increases concrete’s resistance to early cracking, allowing the production of higher-performance concretes that may last more than 75 years. Watch an Every Day Counts spotlight video for information on how this technology works.
