Geopolymer Solutions
Sustainable Concrete and Fireproofing
Join Art MacKinnon, an leading expert in industrial fireproofing, at the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo from April 6-10 in Nashville, TN, as he presents “New Technology in Cementitious Fireproofing.” This presentation will explore innovative solutions to enhance fire protection and sustainability in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and civil construction. Key Highlights from …
Concrete has been the backbone of construction for centuries, with Portland cement-based concrete as the industry standard. However, geopolymer concrete has emerged as a high-performance and low carbon alternative that is sustainable and cost-competitive. In this article, we compare geopolymer concrete and portland concrete. We focus on their composition, environmental impact, curing time, durability, cost, …
In 2022, Geopolymer Solutions successfully completed a critical fireproofing project for a midstream oil and gas company in West Texas, covering six sites. The project required a durable, cost-effective solution tailored to the unique demands of the oil and gas industry and demanding Texas environment. FP250, an innovative fireproofing material, was selected for its ability …
Geopolymer concrete offers an environmentally friendly solution for architects, builders, and project managers, enabling sustainable construction and superior quality.
This guide examines various soil and ground stabilization methods and materials, their uses, and important factors. These methods are essential for enhancing the strength and stability of building foundations.
Learn how toxic red mud becomes a resource to create sustainable concrete, also known as red mud concrete, red concrete, or geopolymer concrete. These terms refer to the same innovative material created by repurposing red mud waste into a durable, eco-friendly concrete.
Geopolymer Solutions (GPS), based in Conroe, Texas, collaborated with UL Solutions, a safety certification company, a few years ago to create a certification model for their innovative Cold Fusion Concrete (CFC) FP250, the first geopolymer-based cementitious fireproofing material. Despite being a few years old, this groundbreaking case study remains highly relevant today. The project required …
One of the most costly challenges in the petrochemical industry today is managing corrosion under insulation(CUI) and corrosion under fireproofing (CUF). The most simplistic description of corrosion on steel is rust.
Steel loses approximately 50% of its load-bearing capacity when it reaches 1,000oF (537oC). Accordingly, all structural steel buildings and industrial plants with human occupants must be protected from fire events to allow rescuers time to evacuate structures.
Geopolymer concrete can withstand extreme heat without a problem, unlike Portland cement which faces extreme age degradation and carbonation when heated.
