Metrics
Modern low carbon materials are often stronger, more durable and longer lasting than conventional materials. Fortify Fleet calculates the benefits of switching to superior, low carbon materials so you can market these metrics to clients.
-
Concrete gets the majority of its strength from a chemical glue called calcium silicate hydrate (CSH). Fortified™ subcontractors know how to increase the ratio of this strength enhancing CSH.
-
Ancient Roman concrete contained a high ratio of aluminum, which allowed it to develop properties that outmatch modern Portland cement concrete. Fortified™ subcontractors know how to fortify their concrete with calcium aluminum hydrates, also known as the AFt/AFm phases - a key chemical component to Roman masterpieces like the Pantheon and Coliseum.
-
A sign of strong concrete is when the PSI exceeds the PSI specified by the engineer.
-
A minus sign indicates “cost savings”, while a plus sign indicates a “cost premium.” While some sustainable materials cost more than conventional materials (hence the term “green premium”), some are a “win-win” - meaning they have no green premium, or they even have a savings.
