Nelson Precast in Baltimore, MD created exposed aggregate panels backed by Trinic UHPC.
Challenge: There wasn’t enough space for thick panels near saltwater installations.
The team opted for slim panels featuring an exposed aggregate front and a Trinic UHPC back layer strengthened with glass fiber and glass rebar.
Managing warping proved difficult, as the two mixes shrank at different rates. By carefully spacing the dunnage and closely tracking the curing process, the panels stayed straight—once cured, they remained aligned.
Trinic UHPC is offered as a complete mix or as an admix for customers to add sand and cement:
