“The footing concrete poured just like our traditional mix designs. For slab-on-grade, placement and finishing were very similar to mixes containing fly ash. Saw cut control joints held an edge better than typical fly ash mixes, and we’ve observed no abnormal cracking to date.”

“The concrete with ReAct finished more easily. There was noticeably less cracking in the mix with Fortera compared to without. The consistency in color and surface would make me excited to use ReAct in decorative or architectural concrete. ”
Luis Macias Owner of LCM Concrete Construction Company

“In my experience I can say that the concrete mix with ReAct material cleared out 200 linear feet of hose without delay, as with regular concrete mix there is an 80% chance we have an issue … NO DRY PACK as a pump operator this makes our job a lot easier. The product looks amazing when it’s all finished and cured.”

Blend
45% CO₂ Reduction

“The fresh-state properties of the concrete containing 12% Fortera ReAct Blend demonstrated impressive workability, was easy to both place and finish and performed very well at the Berkeley Substation 8 Project. It looks excellent in its hardened, finished state too, having a very light albedo.”
Eric Peterson Director of Webcor Concrete Group

Silicon Valley Company Concrete Pad & Sidewalk

“From what we saw in the field, it handled really well. It was easier to finish, had a noticeably brighter color, and didn’t disrupt our normal operations. What stood out most was the Fortera team, they know their material, and their guidance on mixing and placement made the whole process smooth.”
Elijah Mosley Superintendent at South Bay Construction
