When completed in Spring 2019, the new One Dalton Street tower will house 184 condominiums and 215 hotel rooms. This ambitious project requires 53,500 m3 of concrete, with the additional towering challenge of completing two storeys per week.
“One of our greatest challenges was finding the ideal high-performance concrete solutions that would help us improve productivity and accelerate placement schedules.”
Faced with this challenging performance criterion G&C Concrete turned to teams from LafargeHolcim subsidiary Aggregate Industries in the USA to find their ideal high-performance solutions:
For G&C Concrete, the customized Agilia® and Chronolia® mixes are the ideal high-performance solutions needed to meet the demanding speed of construction and quality goals for the One Dalton Street project.
“Due to the Agilia® product’s superb self-consolidating properties in the heavy-rebar applications, there is no need for vibration, and the surface finish on the columns is nice and smooth, which is a huge benefit in terms of labor requirements and time savings. The Chronolia® concrete product is also performing up to speed and making a strong contribution to our success by hitting its specified high early-strength consistently and allowing us to strip out the forms early.”
