RAPIDtect™

RAPIDtect™ is our high early-strength concrete that is designed to reach a specified strength sooner, delivering rapid performance gains that improve on-site productivity and help you stay on schedule.

High early strength for improved turnaround time and productivity

Rapid strength gain enables quicker removal of formwork for concrete at temperatures greater than 50°F and ambient air temperatures matching extreme winter conditions.

Flexibility of construction schedules in relation to the rotation of formwork.

Contractors can significantly increase the number of daily rotations for walls, columns, slabs-on-grade, and grade beams.

RAPIDtect™ Performance

Mixes can be designed to achieve between 75–100% of their 28-day compressive strength within 24 hours, depending on mix design and site conditions.

Workability ranges between 60-120 minutes from batching to placement.*

Can be custom-designed for project-specific needs.

RAPIDTECT™, INSIDE MINNEAPOLIS’ ELEVEN ON THE RIVER

Expectations for this tower were high from the start. The design required concrete with a specific modulus of elasticity and mixes that could be pumped dozens of stories up through hot summers, freezing winters, and everything in between. RAPIDtect™ high-early strength concrete supported quick placements for the iconic tower.
