Host Martin Halliwell talks with the Founder and Chairman of Cor-Tuf UHPC, Douglas Darling.

Cor-Tuf UHPC is the only licensed producer of Cor-Tuf Ultra-High Performance Concrete in the United States and the world. The ultra-high performance concrete mix design is comprised largely of the same materials as traditional concrete. Cor-Tuf UHPC can be used in place of traditional concrete in all current concrete applications. It can also be used in new and innovative ways concrete has not been used in the past.

Douglas has a long career in land and development projects and a strong background in construction methods. His work as a developer-led him to a fascination with the properties and potential of UHPC concrete, which then propelled him to form COR-TUF UHPC, six years ago. He is now chairman of the company and works closely with the management team and partners.

In this episode of The Value Engineering Experts podcast, Rory Bosma, Independent Manufacturing Representative at Specification Products, talks about the success of E5 products and answers questions regarding the E5 revolution in USA markets and more questions relating to E5 from a special panel of Feng experts with Host Martin Halliwell, David Burns and Rick Cuthbert.

E5 is the only silicate-free nano silica technology that internally cures concrete, thus eliminating the drawbacks associated with wet curing and topically applied products. Patent filed in 2015 and awarded in 2021. Concrete made with E5 effectively controls the bleed of water (95% water retained), keeping it chemically bound at a nano-scale level. Controlling water loss creates up to 30% greater cement hydration efficiency = increased strength, durability, reduced early cracking, reduced chloride ingress, reduced curling, and extended service life.
