Concrete admixtures - sustainable concrete
Durability of concrete, an important part of the sustainability theme, was, is, and will be one of the main topics for large infrastructure projects like the Gotthard base tunnel. For such important structures a service life of more than 80 years is expected. The prevailing underground conditions like water ingress, aggressive waters etc.
