Cementech Volumetric Mixers & Hidro 600

Until now, pervious concrete has been difficult to create using volumetric mixers. The pervious concrete created using these mixers typically contains no additives resulting in a mix that is difficult to handle, has very little working time, reduced permeability, and is often not very strong.

Hidro 600 - The Additive For Pervious Concrete

Using a Cementech volumetric mixer along with the addition of Hidro 600, the additive for pervious concrete, a premium pervious concrete is now easily created which rivals that typically created using ready mix.

Robust Paste Promotes Paste Bridging

This "no panic" pervious was recently demonstrated at the 2013 World of Concrete in Las Vegas where a small pad of Hidro 600 pervious concrete was placed & finished, but left uncovered in the hot dry weather. Though we recommend placing poly over all Hidro 600 pervious concrete to provide the greatest product hydration and resultant strength possible, we believe this clearly demonstrated the fact that there is no panic anymore to cover Hidro 600 pervious concrete.

Fresh Concrete, No Poly, No Indentations!

Yet another resultant of Hidro 600 in pervious concrete is its ability to consolidate quickly and provide high early strength. This characteristic was demonstrated by allowing people to walk on the fresh concrete only minutes after consolidating & finishing the demonstration slab. No indentations were made in the fresh concrete.

1 Day Old Hidro 600 Pervious Concrete

The high early strength characteristic achieved by using Hidro 600 was further proven the following day when a fully loaded Cementech truck drove over the newly created pad from the day before without creating even a single crack.
