Velocity Ready Mix News

Colorado has had a snowy winter and we have all been waiting for the snow to stop and the sun to shine.

Here are some Spring Concrete Tips:

Climate (April – May): Spring temperatures are cool and conditions can be wet. The threat of snow and freezing temperatures is usually gone by mid-April, but rain is always a consideration. Prolonged periods of rain can delay spring exterior concrete projects.
Mix Designs: Standard mix designs are the norm.

Due to extensive freeze-thaw conditions, we can be prone to spalling and scaling concrete.  Air-entrainment admixtures  should be mandatory in all exterior concrete placed here.

Placement and Curing Practices: Windy conditions can be common in the spring. Plastic sheeting, surface evaporative control agents, and curing compounds should be available on all exterior pours in the spring. Proper water content and finishing are critical for long-term durability.

Special Equipment: Plastic sheeting to protect concrete from sudden rain showers; sprayers to apply curing compounds and surface evaporative control chemicals.

We are in season so we will see you at the plant soon... We missed you throughout the winter... Let's rock and roll!

ICF is becoming a Big Business in Denver
ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) is becoming more popular with home buyers in the Colorado market for several reasons and Velocity Ready Mix is quickly becoming the largest supplier.

Let's look at the benefits of ICF building.

Why ICFs?
Owners of high-performance ICF buildings consistently praise their living comfort, healthy interior, noise reduction, energy efficiency, safety & insurance discounts.

Durable & Resilient
ICF construction gives you a strong, steel reinforced concrete structure - the material of choice for large buildings, bridges, and facilities for the armed forces. ICF lifecycles measured in centuries instead of decades and lower risk of costly water damage. Built-in Resilience can qualify owners for  insurance discounts  in many areas, sometimes worth hundreds of thousands over time!

Healthy, Cozy & Safe
ICF panels  are manufactured from high density, biologically safe, fire retardant, long-lasting expanded polystyrene (EPS) creating healthy & cozy indoor environments. The fire resistance rating of a finished ICF wall with 8" concrete thickness is  4 hours per tests .

Ultra Energy-Efficient
With ICF you can build walls with your choice of insulation value, from R-22 to R-59. Choose the optimum Insulation Value depending on your local climate and energy-saving goals.  High, continuous insulation combined with low air infiltration and the thermal mass  of concrete provide at least 58% better R-Value than most wood-frame walls.

Fast, Simple, Accurate
Insulating Concrete Forms are infinitely versatile and fast to install, allowing design and construction flexibility unmatched in other types of concrete forming!
