Major Breakthrough Announced With iCrete's Patented 100-Year Durable Concrete Mixes for All
Infrastructure Including Road Systems, Bridges, Ports and Dams
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
* Governments and the private sector can now build public infrastructure
with 100-year durability, at lower cost and with up to a 40 percent reduction
in a project's carbon footprint.
* Developed in North America, iCrete Global 100 mixes are immediately available in the Gulf region where
work is already underway on the world's tallest 'superscraper' buildings and green megacities in Abu Dhabi,
Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
* iCrete creates the first truly global concrete, an infrastructure
solution that dramatically reduces costs and can meet all building code
standards anywhere in the world, featuring the highest strengths achievable.
iCrete, the world's premier concrete technology company, announced today the availability in North
America and the Middle East of customized and patented high-performance concrete mixes designed for
infrastructure use worldwide. iCrete Global 100 concrete mixes will dramatically increase to a century or
more the lifespan and durability of major public and private infrastructure projects -- from road systems to
bridges, ports, dams, and other vital high-use high-traffic public facilities and venues.
iCrete's newest and highly durable concrete mixes will feature a minimum
100-year design life that can also substantially reduce the price, greenhouse
gases and the carbon footprint of concrete by as much as 40 percent. iCrete
Global 100 is the first mix design that can meet all industry and governmental
standards worldwide, while saving nations around the world billions in
construction spending.
iCrete licenses its technology to local ready mix producers worldwide. Its new iCrete Global 100 mixes,
developed in North America, are immediately
available there and in the Middle East. They will be available in Latin
America, Central Asia, and Europe in the second quarter of 2009.
Said Chief Executive Officer Juan Carlos Terroba: "We are particularly pleased to offer this immediately in
the Gulf region where work is already underway on the world's tallest superscraper buildings and green
megacities in
Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and elsewhere across the Middle East. We are
already in discussions with similar projects in Panama, Hong Kong and other world capitals where cost,
durability, and environmental footprint are
important factors."
Added Terroba: "Public infrastructure is at the economic foundation of the
world. It is unacceptable that most public installations and structures last
only an inexcusably short 30 to 40 years and those that last longer are left
standing only by an Act of God. iCrete developed our Global 100 mixes so that infrastructure worldwide --
from Abu Dhabi to Beijing, Washington D.C. to
Delhi, London to Panama City -- will last 100 years and more, while respecting
the environment."
