We Provide Guidance So It’s Designed Well
- Design & Pre-Construction
- Hycrete gets involved during the design and planning phases, providing design input, detail drawings, and specifications. Hycrete provides guidance on concrete mix design. Field service follows up with pre-construction meetings to educate and coordinate trades, ensuring good execution.
We Ensure Water Can’t Go Around the Concrete
- Pre-Inspections
- Following design and education phases, Hycrete team members are present onsite to ensure that all elements are completed correctly. Our service technicians inspect everything from joint details to penetrations.
We Make Sure the Concrete Goes in Right

The better the mix, the fewer the onsite flaws, as well, and the lower the long-term risk. We also audit to ensure that Hycrete admixtures are dosed as intended.
- Presence at the Pours
- Hycrete service technicians are present onsite during pours for concrete field service. We ensure the placement is done right, working to optimize the concrete for future performance.
