The EnviroMix®
Impact App

 

Enviromix Impact is a tool (mobile application) developed to better understand the lever for CO2 reduction within concrete.​

It allows the user to see and show what is the Carbon Footprint impact of the different changes that can occur in a concrete mix design.

Materials Characterization

Characterization of your materials from aggregates to sands and cements allows us to more effectively develop tailor made solutions that address your challenges. Through this deep understanding we have developed cement additives to optimize the grinding of clinker, strength enhancement of cement, as well as concrete admixtures that specifically address clays in aggregates and allow for the use of variable materials like manufactured sands.

Low-Carbon Concrete Mix Design Optimization

Our expert teams provide concrete producers with effective levers to develop high-performing concrete compliant with CO2 reduction targets. These levers include: reducing transportation impacts through the use of locally available raw materials, substituting high carbon footprint materials with lower carbon materials like supplementary cementitious materials and increasing the service life of structures through the use of durability enhancing admixtures.

EPDs Dedicated Service for Construction Projects

The EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is fast becoming the preferred tool to quantify concrete embodied carbon for new construction projects.
