Case Study
In this project a total of 100,000 cubic yards of concrete was used. Slag cement enhanced the project by:
High PSI (16k psi)
Sustainability (40% slag cement mix offered a significant co2 reduction)
Pumpability
Low heat of hydration for mass pours (70% slag) which were 12 feet thick.
The use of slag cement resulted in structural, sustainable and mass concrete attributes.
This tower is a super- tall skyscraper known as one of a handful of “Pencil-Towers” in the world. It is the tallest primarily residential building in the world, tallest building in the western hemisphere, and the tallest roof in the western hemisphere. This project has a 28 foot cantilevered section that starts at 300 feet above ground, over an adjacent building, and reaches up 1,200 feet above.
