TXI’s CEMENT TREATED MATERIALS / group provides recycling solutions for maintaining our roads. As we look towards reuse and recycling as a critical solution to non-renewable resources, TXI’s patented Rebase® product was developed. Rebase maximizes the use of recycled materials to significantly reduce the use of virgin materials in repairing roads or parking lots.
Roads need to be repaired and that typically involves removing old asphalt or concrete materials that have failed and become unusable. Historically this waste material has been land-filled while virgin material was placed on the repaired road. As we look towards reuse and recycling as a critical solution to non-renewable resources, TXI’s patented Rebase® product was developed. Rebase maximizes the use of recycled materials to significantly reduce the use of virgin materials in repairing roads or parking lots. Rebase combines recycled asphalt or concrete materials with cement and other materials to offer a superior-performing base that improves the pavement structure and increases the life-cycle performance. Not only does this process enhance the quality of the pavement structure, it also reduces landfill needs and focuses on resource recovery and resource efficiency.
Another unique product developed by TXI’s Cement Treated Materials group is SuperSlurry™, a patented system that provides the stabilization and strength benefits of cement in a dust-free environment. SuperSlurry offers the most environmentally friendly way of recycling existing roads or stabilizing soils for new ones. The superior building qualities of cement, such as strength and durability are well known. TXI’s SuperSlurry incorporates the benefits of cement while eliminating dust and improving cement efficiency.
TXI’s Cement Treated Materials group is committed to recycling and optimization. Over 80% of the coarse aggregates used to produce our high-quality products are recycled, reducing the dependence on our natural resources and eliminating waste and landfill materials.
TXI strives to conserve and optimize our resources. Contact us for information on how you too can conserve and optimize your resources with innovative methods such as Full Depth Reclamation or FDR. When compared to new construction, FDR is an environmentally superior process. Reusing existing materials reduces 95% of the trucks needed, reduces the dependence on new aggregates, and eliminates the need to landfill material, all of which leads to a reduction of fuel consumption and lower carbon footprint. FDR is an ideal way to optimize and conserve while saving time and money too.
READY MIX PROSET SERIES / TXI’s ProSet products utilize a performance-based approach to concrete design rather than a prescriptive philosophy. The key difference is that ProSet concrete mixes out-perform standard prescription ratios that have been outdated, or in some cases, over designed for a particular concrete application.
By making performance the key measure in the mix design process, TXI is able optimize the utilization of natural raw materials such as limestone, sand and water, and maximize the implementation of recycled materials like flyash.
TXI is committed to offer our customers ready-mix products that meet and exceed any industry standards while consciously optimizing the use of virgin aggregates, water, and cement and increasing the consumption of recycled materials. TXI’s ProSet series of concrete mixes achieves superior performance and durability – giving our customers, and ultimately the people who live in, work in and drive on the structures they build, a sustainable product that will endure for many years.
