Cortec’s CorrVerter MCI Rust Primer
When it comes to tackling reinforcement surface prep and ongoing protection, CorrVerter MCI Rust Primer provides performance and application advantages to mitigate rebar corrosion.
Without the need for abrasive, water blasting, and intensive labor, CorrVerter MCI, which is recommended for application to rusty or poorly prepared steel surfaces where further corrosion protection is required and good surface preparation is difficult to achieve. CorrVerter MCI is a unique formulation of chelating agents combined with a high solids waterborne latex with extremely low water vapor permeability. This fast-drying, single-component primer converts surface rust into a hydrophobic passive layer and offers excellent protection against re-rusting of metal surfaces. Coated reinforcement has similar bond strength to concrete compared with uncoated rebar.

Giatec’s SmartMix Concrete Mix App
With Giatec’s SmartMix dashboard, producers can adjust the proportions of their concrete mixes, such as the use of chemical admixtures and amount of cement. With millions of datapoints used to train Roxi, Giatec’s artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, the program’s suggestions ensure that these adjustments will meet a mix’s designed compressive strength and other performance criteria. “This means that a producer can meet concrete mix specifications set out by a project engineer, while cutting down on both material costs and CO2 emissions,” says Andrew Fahim, Senior Manager of R&D, Giatec. • Predict mix performance, workability, and air content, based on a mix’s proportions, raw material characteristics, ambient conditions, etc. • Analyze and evaluate the influence of mix adjustments • Meet performance specifications and prescriptive requirements set out by the project engineer, such as specified slump, strength at different ages, etc. • And more

The COMMAND Center AutoCollect Autonomous Data Collection Option
The COMMAND Center AutoCollect is a fully autonomous concrete data collection option as part of the company’s concrete temperature and maturity monitoring system. With COMMAND Center AutoCollect, builders, subcontractors, suppliers, testing firms, owners and owner agencies, engineers, and architects can measure and log concrete temperature history, calculate maturity, and evaluate in-place strength while away from the jobsite. By removing the necessity of on-site personnel to collect data, COMMAND Center AutoCollect can save teams the expense and labor hours of manually collecting data onsite.
COMMAND Center AutoCollect uses a cellular signal to automatically send sensor data to the COMMAND Center Cloud where teams can access it in real-time from anywhere, on or off the jobsite. Users can receive real-time alerts via text message or email when their concrete approaches temperature limits or achieves estimated target strength.
