How imi Wins New Business Through Innovation

imi's Jeff McPherson, VP of Customer Development and Darrin Litteral, Quality Control Manager discuss how sustainability and innovation helped imi differentiate itself in the marketplace, win new business and maintain heightened brand awareness within the green building community.

CarbonCure Ready Mix Technology Trial Results

Industrial pilot testing results of the carbonated ready mix concrete are presented in this technical note. The process created nanocrystalline carbonate reaction products that positively effected the early hydration and the compressive strength. The carbonated concrete was as much as 20% stronger than the control concrete without any compromise in pore solution pH or risk for chloride penetrability.

Secrets to Boosting Your Concrete’s Profitability

This eBook touches on methods for reducing production costs and the carbon footprint of concrete, ways to create process efficiencies and retain employees, and how sustainability positioning serves as a competitive advantage that helps gain market share.

Calculating Sustainability Impacts of CarbonCure Ready Mix

This paper shows how the injected CO₂ improved the concrete’s compressive strength with minimal impact on fresh air content or workability. It includes three-way comparisons between a reference batch, reduced binder batch and reduced binder batch with CO₂ addition, confirmed that the CO₂ could allow for a 5-8% reduction in binder loading without compromising strength. A model case shows that integrating a CO₂ utilization step into conventional concrete production can, net of process emissions, reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete by 4.6%.
