SHOW REPORT
A year removed from W.R. Grace & Co. ties, GCP arrives at ConEx-
po-Con/Agg with the Verifi V4 in-transit, concrete mix management
system; an admixture platform yielding high slump mixes at com-
petitive cost; a complete admixture and fiber offfering for shotcrete;
and, new admixtures for aggregates management.
With truck-mounted sensors, Verifi V4 provides automated pro-
cess monitoring and control from the ready mixed plant to the
jobsite. "The system offers a new level of visibility into concrete
properties and helps increase product consistency from one truck
to the next," says GCP Specialty Construction Chemicals Vice Presi-
dent, Global Marketing Craig Merrill. "The technology establishes a
new market segment in the concrete industry, allowing producers,
contractors and other stakeholders to reduce rejected loads, increase
jobsite efficiency and minimize costly project delays … We are at
the leading edge of translating science into solutions to address
customer problems."
The new Control Flow Concrete technology delivers the con-
sistency and reliability of conventional concrete and offers the
advantages of self-consolidating mixes without the quality control
issues. The Tytro admixture and fiber portfolio brings value to shot-
crete tunneling and mining applications. — GCP Applied Technologies
