New 'Green' Concrete Technology Is Taking Hold at Manhattan High-Rise
Construction Sites
NEW YORK, July 30 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- Major development projects in the New York City area are now choosing The iCrete(TM)
System for all their concrete needs.
- New, prestige Manhattan high-rise buildings by renowned architects Frank Gehry,
Robert A.M. Stern, and Daniel Libeskind are among those designed with iCrete.
- More than 30 sites in the New York City metropolitan area alone now have iCrete less
than a year after its introduction at Freedom Tower at the site of the former World Trade
Center.
- iCrete offers greater quality control in concrete mixes, a significant reduction of
greenhouse gases, better project control, and substantially lower costs.
An historic breakthrough in concrete production is taking hold at construction sites all over
Manhattan.
The iCrete(TM) System offers record strength as well as dramatic environmental benefits
and cost efficiencies when used in all major construction applications, including commercial,
residential, and infrastructure projects.
Prestige high-rise projects
The iCrete System has already been chosen for a variety of Manhattan's most prestigious
high-rise projects, including:
-- Freedom Tower, designed by architects Daniel Libeskind and David
Childs.
-- Beekman Tower, designed by legendary architect Frank Gehry.
-- The Harrison, designed by the renowned architect Robert A. M. Stern.
-- 11 Times Square, designed by Fox & Fowle, New York's premier office tower architects.
Highest strength concrete
The iCrete System, which is being poured right now at Freedom Tower as it rises at the
former World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan, delivers a reduction of up to 40 percent
in green house gases, advanced mix designs, plus higher performance and quality control.
The concrete designed by iCrete for Freedom Tower is the highest strength concrete ever
poured in the history of New York. Less than one year after iCrete was introduced at
Freedom Tower, it has already been poured at more than 30 construction sites in the
Greater New York Metropolitan Area, including Midtown, the Upper West Side, Lower
Manhattan and Tribeca and beyond.
"There's concrete. And now there's iCrete," says Juan Carlos Terroba, Chief Executive
Officer of iCrete. "This represents the first major shift in 100 years in the way concrete is
prepared. And the iCrete System is available worldwide -- the rising costs of materials, labor
and concrete itself have no geographic borders."
