Pipedream Industries

A much cheaper recipe. Still stronger.

Trident lets ready-mix and precast producers use more slag or fly ash without handing the schedule risk to the plant. Dose it through the existing admixture line and validate it against your control mix.

Equal-strength screening model based on the lab's 439 kg/m³ standard 80/20 mix and 380 kg/m³ Trident mix. Raw materials only; excludes freight, energy and overhead. Carbon uses published A1–A3 factors: OPC 922, slag 147 and fly ash 10 kg CO₂e/t, plus a 2 kg CO₂e/m³ Pipedream estimate for Trident. Estimates, not a quote or EPD.

Compatibility first

We check your cement, SCM and admixture package before the plant trial. Trident is dosed at the end of the batch cycle through the existing line.
