Going Green With Concrete!!!

Few paving materials can match concrete when it comes to sustainability and conserving the environment.

Concrete is made with renewable resources. Unlike asphalt pavements that are made with non renewable petroleum supplies, concrete pavements are made from abundant, sustainable resources including water, natural rock and sand and cement. The predominant raw material for the cement in concrete is limestone, the most abundant mineral on earth.

Concrete can be recycled at the end of its service life. If your concrete ever needs to be replaced, it can be crushed and recycled at the end of its service life. The material from your recycled concrete can be used as granular fill, as a base course for new pavement, or as aggregate in new concrete.

Concrete can utilize recycled and waste materials. Ready mix suppliers make the concrete for your driveway using waste byproducts, which reduces the consumption of raw materials and keeps waste out of landfills. Fly ash, ground blast furnace slag and silica fume all byproducts from power plants, steel mills and other industrial processes are commonly used a partial cement replacements. You can also use recycled aggregates in the concrete mix and reinforcing steel that has a high recycled content. This is why concrete is a better option for the environment.

Fiber-reinforced concrete is an increasingly popular choice for flatwork and elevated construction—from precast and ready-mix concrete to shotcrete. Fibers make concrete resistant to cracking from plastic and drying shrinkage, leading to a durable product with a longer lifespan.

Why Use Fibers in Concrete?

Regarded as a cost-effective, durable and even sustainable alternative to conventional steel like rebar and wire mesh, fiber-reinforced concrete boasts a variety of benefits:

1- Prevents plastic and drying shrinkage cracks
2- Enables faster construction times and lower labor costs
3- Finishes smoothly with any surface fibers quickly fading under foot/vehicle traffic
4- Provides same level of reinforcement as wire mesh with even distribution throughout concrete
5- Eliminates the need for chairs to support conventional steel rebar and wire mesh
6- Well recognized by major concrete organizations and tested to industry standards

Avoid De-Icer's the First Year Your Concrete Is Poured.

For concrete exposed to freezing & thawing temperatures in a harsh winter environment, & with possible exposure to de-icers (like from salts splashing up from slushy snow along roadways & driveways)

Concrete can still be very easily damaged in the first year due to someone dumping de-icers onto its surface.

After concrete has weathered a season or two & has gone through complete winter cycles for at least a year, it will naturally become more durable & resistant to de-icers. No de-icer of any kind should be used on first-year concrete.

Even if concrete was installed in April and sat all summer long, it will not gain the strength needed to resist the de-icers the first year or two.

Concrete seems like a dense material but in fact it is quite porous. When concrete is saturated with water from rain or from snow piling up on it overnight & then melting during the day, ice crystals will form inside the concrete.

When a small crack forms in concrete, water gets into it and it expands during freezing, making the crack just a little bigger so that more water can get into it next time.

Shoveling the snow off your driveway as soon as possible can help prevent this. Get that pile of wet, cold stuff off your concrete & let the sun dry it out & warm it up whenever it possibly can.

Use a penetrating concrete sealant before winter. Silane or siloxane components will prevent water from reaching the inside of the concrete.

Concrete Maintenance - Concrete is a very durable material and clients believe it’s a maintenance-free product. But the reality is that no product lasts forever, not even concrete, without occasional maintenance. The unfortunate truth: concrete is going to crack — it’s just a matter of when. Eventually, surfaces show signs of wear and tear, here are some maintenance tips to extend the concrete’s functional life.

Always clean and seal concrete - Many clients think of concrete as a maintenance-free product, or that a pressure wash is all it needs. But weather, freeze thaw cycles, acids, alkali, salt and harsh chemicals can degrade concrete over time. A simple step toward protecting concrete against the elements is keeping concrete sealers up-to-date on their maintenance schedule. Most sealers call for reapplication every six months to a year. Be sure to note that sealing can cause slippery surfaces when wet.

Be aware of harmful materials - Michigan uses a lot of road salts. Salt damage is most commonly due to exposure to de-icing salts. However, any chemical compound containing chlorides presents a danger to the concrete. They are mildly acidic and attack the bonds that hold concrete together. Salt is a mild acid and lowers the pH in concrete, which attacks the concrete paste and aggregate, weakening the structure and strength of the concrete. It also increases the pore size, allowing additional water and chemicals to permeate the concrete. A great time to start a concrete sealing project comes when homeowners are winterizing their homes. With winter comes ice and salt which can both harm concrete surfaces. This is an ideal time to reseal and prepare concrete for these harsh conditions.

USE:
Silane-Based Water Repellent Treatments These treatments work by penetrating deeply into the concrete and forming a permanent bond with the silica within the material. This bond creates a hydrophobic layer that repels water while allowing the surface to maintain its natural appearance. One of the major benefits of silane-based treatments is their durability. They pe*****te deeply into the concrete, providing long-lasting protection against water damage, salt corrosion and freeze-thaw cycles. This makes them an excellent choice for exterior concrete that is exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

Siloxane-Based Water Repellent Treatments
Although siloxane-based water repellents function similarly to silane-based treatments in many ways, they are much more suitable for medium-porosity surfaces. Like with silane, siloxane forms a hydrophobic layer on the concrete surface, preventing water from penetrating while preserving the material’s appearance and durability. Siloxane-based treatments are versatile and can be used on a variety of materials beyond concrete, including brick and stucco. This makes them a flexible option for projects that combine multiple materials, ensuring consistent protection across the entire structure. In addition to their versatility, siloxane-based water repellents are typically more cost-effective than silane-based options. This makes them a practical choice for large-scale projects or installations where budget constraints are a key consideration.
