FIVE THINGS
MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE
Price is important. There is no getting around it. But price is seldom the most important part of a buying decision. If it was, then everyone
would drive a Lada. When people purchase a vehicle, they first consider factors like carrying capacity, performance, design and reliability.
For example, it makes no sense to buy a low-price car when what you really need is a truck. Price is considered only after a product is
found to meet your needs. And even if you do just need an economy car, you are probably making a smarter decision by spending more
to buy a Honda. This is generally the case when purchasing most products – including concrete waterproofing.
When selecting your concrete waterproofing product, consider these five points that are more important than price.
1. Performance
Probably the most important factor
in your buying decision is going to be
performance. The product must be
capable of doing the job that you intend
it to do. At the most basic level, this is not
even negotiable. Spending less money
to buy a product that does not do the job
does not save you any money at all. In fact,
it is a waste of money. At a higher level, it
is usually worthwhile to choose a better
performing product, even if the price is
higher. Better performance will normally
offset a higher price by providing other
benefits, such as reliability and longer life.
Sometimes you need to spend a little more to get a better product (and avoid leaks).

in False Creek. Another significant challenge to effective
waterproofing was the tight location of the site, which
would make waterproofing using surface-applied methods
difficult. There was no time to waste: with a demanding
schedule, shotcrete was the chosen construction method
and an integrated system to provide waterproofing was
required. That’s where Westbank and Icon Pacific worked
with Kryton to find a system to meet their needs.
On the Pacific west coast, structural shotcrete is fast
becoming the preferred material in the construction of
foundations, building tanks, and many other structures.
Shotcrete is attractive because it saves time and money,
with half the forming and equipment of regular cast-in-
place methods. Kryton has an impressive track record of
successfully applying its expertise to other local waterproof
shotcrete projects, including residential developments by
White Water and Onni at Ora in Richmond, and Aragon’s
The Station St John’s in Port Moody. Many commercial
and industrial projects also rely on shotcrete solutions and
Kryton products for below grade tanking. For example,
Kryton worked with Whitewater/Conshot on shotcrete
around an electrical room and pits at a new IKEA store
in Richmond; a 30 ft. high, two ft. thick wall at the Mount
Pleasant Power Substation; and a cistern at popular visitor
attraction, Van Dusen Gardens.
The Quorum Group applying shotcrete at 700 West 8th for
ICON Pacific is the latest example of constructing below
grade parking without cast-in-place forms and externally
applied membranes. There are two levels of below grade
parking facilities, and Kryton’s Krystol Waterproofing
Systems were used to tank the below grade concrete that
was placed. Noting that traditional membranes can be a
challenge because the high speed in which the concrete is
forced out of the nozzle can displace or tear conventional
surface-applied systems, the team opted for Kryton’s
Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) to ensure a leak-proof,
high quality, waterproofing solution.
KIM Admixture is integrated with the concrete mix at the
ready-mix facility. This provided several clear cost and time
advantages to the project team:
• Eliminated on-site preparation for applying external
waterproofing membranes
• Increased jobsite productivity by having the
waterproofing already in the shotcrete mix

11. Measuring the compressive strength of a concrete
cylinder in a lab trial
Lab trials are not the time for mix design experimentation or
development, this work happens long before lab trials. Trials are
performed to verify the properties of fresh concrete such as workability
and finishing and adjust the mix design in order to obtain the best
combination of fresh concrete properties.
If possible it is best to use the same materials that will be used in the
real world pour for the lab trial.
Lab Trials Versus Plant Trials
Even if you are able to use the same raw materials in your lab trial that
will be used on-site there are still variables that cannot be duplicated
from the field. These differences include:
• Air temperature in the lab is always controlled (23° +/- 2° C)
• The wind and humidity are controlled
• Materials are used when ready – there is no delay in driving the
concrete to the site
• Timing is controlled – you can add materials when you want
• Time of day variance is not present – on the jobsite properties such Plant trials verify
as temperature and moisture content of materials can change from that a concrete

requirements
Because of the above differences it is always good practice to perform prior to use in
a plant trial following a lab trial. construction
Between lab and plant trials the types of testing are similar; most
commonly slump, air content and compressive strength tests are
performed on each batch of concrete over three days.
The sampling frequency for some tests in plant trials is different
than lab trials due to the volume of concrete produced. For example,
samples of concrete are taken at the beginning, middle, and end point
of the discharge from the mixer for testing. At a plant where concrete
is batched in a central mixer and mixed in a truck mixer, testing should
be performed on several different truck mixers to evaluate consistency.
Trials can prevent future
No Trials problems on-site.
One of the main performance requirements in determining a suitable
mix design is compressive strength. When a ready-mix company
submits a mix design for engineering approval, strength test results
from previous projects can be used in place of trial data, provided that
the ready-mix company has a standard mix design and consistent
material source that meets the project specifications. There are
guidelines published by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) that
engineers and concrete producers can use to determine appropriate
concrete mixtures using statistical analysis of past field data or
conducting laboratory trials. However, for new mix designs that require
validation of mix proportioning, there is no substitute for trials either
in a laboratory or in a plant. Testing will determine the compatibility of
materials and can mitigate potential other problems.
