WHAT IS ECOSMART CONCRETE?

EcoSmart Concrete is a carefully engineered material containing very high volumes of such supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) as fly ash and ground blast furnace slag. EcoSmart Concrete optimizes the replacement of Portland cement with such SCMs, leading to a product that is demonstrably more durable and able to resist salt corrosion in extreme marine environments.

This cutting-edge Canadian technology, proven in some of the world’s most difficult conditions, can help tackle major construction issues facing companies in the Emirates.

EcoSmart Concrete has been applied to many successful building and infrastructure projects in Canada over the last decade. Made with the same or greater standards than with traditional methods and at no extra cost, these projects demonstrate that it is possible to combine performance, profitability and environmental responsibility in concrete construction.

EcoSmart Concrete has the potential to be less expensive than traditional concrete and is easier to pump and work, especially in high temperatures. Originally developed by CANMET, a world-renowned Canadian government laboratory, it significantly improves concrete performance, particularly in harsh conditions. And because it reduces cement usage, a major producer of greenhouse gases, EcoSmart Concrete offers distinct environmental advantages.
