The concept of Additive for cement and concrete refers to all those structures made up, in whole or in part, of standardised and often repetitive components, which can be mass-produced at a special plant and then transported and assembled at the site of construction.
General Admixtures has developed a series of specific technologies for this important construction process in order to provide Manufacturers, Designers and End Users of the Structures with a series of Technical and Economic Benefits.
There are several areas of Additive for cement and concrete in which the Technologies proposed by General Admixtures can provide optimum results:
- Foundation piles
- Foundation plinths ( ex. socket plinths)
- One-dimensional structural elements (pillars, beams, roof tiles)
- Large span elements (bridge beams)
- Two-dimensional structural elements (floor slabs or decking slabs)
- Two-dimensional non-structural elements (infill panels)
- Three-dimensional elements
- Hydraulic elements (channels, manholes, pipes...)
- Retaining walls
- Blocks or general modular elements in normal, honeycomb, lightened concrete
