Cor-Tuf UHPC Forms Partnership with Precast Systems Engineering
Cor-Tuf UHPC is proud to formally announce a partnership with Precast Systems Engineering. This collaboration allows for new, innovative progress in ultra-high performance concrete development and application.
MANASSAS, Va., Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cor-Tuf UHPC (http://www.cor-tuf.com) is excited to announce it has formalized an agreement with Precast Systems Engineering, LLC (http://www.precastsystemsengineering.com) to help in the advancement of Ultra-High Performance Concrete.
Cor-Tuf is the exclusive licensed producer of Cor-Tuf Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) in the United States and the world. Cor-Tuf UHPC is an extremely strong and durable new concrete material developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (U.S. patent No. U.S. 8016938 B2) to fill a demand for a stronger and more resilient material to protect personnel and weapons facilities from blasts and intrusions.
Cor-Tuf will help PSE develop the UHPC mixing technology for project-specific uses, using local supplemental constituents (sand, cement, and other materials as appropriate). PSE will support Cor-Tuf as a structural engineering resource to advance the technology and promote the continued development of Cor-Tuf.
"I have been excited for many months about how I envisioned the potential 'union of forces' between Cor-Tuf and Precast Systems Engineering," says Rich Burgess, president of Cor-Tuf. "Our two companies have already started working together on several large projects and are in discussions concerning many more. We anticipate this new agreement will be mutually beneficial to both organizations. This is just the tip of the iceberg."
