 
The
laser screed operator had the
vibrator turned down as low as it
could go because the concrete
was already consolidated.
The
ready mix is consistent load
after load for even color
distribution.
With Mix
Water Conditioner, there
is no segregation between the
aggregate and paste. Each
aggregate is completely coated
with paste.

This
job didn’t have anything going for it. Although the specifications called for 564
pounds of portland cement, the project received only 470 pounds. An extra 200 pounds of
sand was added to the mix, and the concrete was slumped from 5 to 10 inches. To make matters worse, they were
working on a very loose base. The transit mixer trucks were sinking to their axles when
delivering their loads.
Fortunately, though, they
were using Mix Water Conditioner. Even though they didn’t use a 6-bag mix or maximum
slump of 5 inches, compressive strengths were still exceeded. The design was 4000 psi, yet
even the concrete with the 10-inch slump reached 3480 psi at 7 days and 5420 psi at 28
days.
For the exterior concrete,
611 pounds of portland were used in a mix without Mix Water Conditioner. Its compressive
strengths lagged behind the 470-pound mix which included the Mix Water Conditioner.
