Advanced Mix Design Capabilities

Modern construction often requires concrete that performs under challenging placement conditions, demanding schedules, and strict specification requirements.

Lauren Concrete develops mix designs using proven materials, advanced admixture technologies, and performance-based strategies tailored to each project such as:

Improved pumpability, extended slump retention, high early strength, high ultimate strength, reduced permeability, enhanced durability, improved finishability, and lower heat of hydration.

Solutions for Every Application

Admixtures

High-range water reducers and superplasticizers help improve concrete workability while maintaining low water-to-cement ratios, especially valuable for projects requiring high-flow concrete, congested reinforcement, long pumping distances, or high-performance strength and durability characteristics.

Concrete Cooling

Lauren Concrete supports projects requiring temperature-managed concrete through a combination of planning, production control, and cooling strategies such as injecting concrete with liquid nitrogen, incorporating ice, and utilizing chilled water.

Cement
SCMs

Incorporate supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to improve performance, durability, and sustainability. SCMs can be used to enhance long-term concrete properties while supporting more efficient cementitious material usage.
