Vertua Low Carbon Ready-Mix Concrete by CEMEX
Representing CEMEX’s commitment to its Climate Action strategy, defining a global target of a 35% reduction of CO2 emissions per ton of cementitious products by 2030, the Vertua low carbon ready-mix concrete line offers a range of products— Vertua Classic, Vertua Plus and Vertua Ultra. Vertua Classic offers a 20-30% reduction compared to industry standard Portland-cement-based concrete. Vertua Plus and Vertua Ultra will offer even greater reductions of CO2. The entire product line is expected to become available across the U.S. over the coming year. All Vertua products maintain the level of performance and durability that customers expect from CEMEX and can support the efforts of builders and contractors to earn more credit points toward LEED, Whole Building LifeCycle Assessment and other green building certifications.

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.

Cortec’s CorrVerter MCI Rust Primer
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 ForConstructionPros.com/21283158
Increase Collaboration, Speed & Accuracy During Estimation with Autodesk Takeoff
Previously announced as “Autodesk Quantify,” Autodesk Takeoff empowers estimators to perform 2D and 3D quantification workflows from a common data environment to increase collaboration, speed and accuracy during the estimation process. Originally announced at Autodesk University in Nov. 2020, Autodesk Takeoff joins Autodesk Build and Autodesk BIM Collaborate as part of the Autodesk Construction Cloud unified platform. • Better visualize project scope with aggregated 2D and 3D takeoff • See updates in real-time with cloud-based document management • Provide multi-user access to projects ForConstructionPros.com/21319087
