Hi all - looking under the HC discussions page - the headings 'Announcements' (EDE to ASX) near 'Discussions' there are 2 announcements re the Port of Savannah.
The first 7-2-2020 part of ann. " • EdenCrete® trial in concrete at the Port of Savannah commenced -

EDENCRETE® - PORT OF SAVANNAH TRIAL
HIGHLIGHTS
Highly encouraging independent laboratory testing of the compressive
strength of EdenCrete® enriched concrete being trialled at the Port of
Savannah has been completed.
Compressive strength achieved at 28 days of 10,010 psi exceeded by 100%
the required minimum 28 day strength of 5,000psi.
Compressive strength achieved at 28 hours (5,720 psi) exceeded the
required minimum to re-open the section (4,000psi) by 43%, approximately
48 hours earlier than is usually the case.
EdenCrete® dosage rate was 1 US gallon per cubic yard (4.95 litres/cubic
metre) of concrete.
The review of the performance of the EdenCrete® enriched concrete is
anticipated to be undertaken over approximately three months.
DETAILS
Eden Innovations Ltd (Eden) (ASX:EDE) is pleased to announce the successful completion
of the independent laboratory testing of the compressive strength of the EdenCrete®
enriched concrete being trialled at the Port of Savannah (part of Georgia Port Authority)
(see Eden Announcement- ASX: EDE 7 February 2020).
The trial involves a section of concrete (known as the “runway”) in the container terminal
area that is subject to very heavy loading and abrasion from the tyres of the large rubber
tyred gantry (RTG) cranes (see Figures 1-4).
The average compressive strength achieved in the independent laboratory tests by the
EdenCrete® enriched concrete after 28 days, was 10,010 psi (68.95MPa), exceeding by
100% the required minimum 28 day strength of 5,000psi (34.47MPa).
Also of interest is the fact that the average compressive strength achieved after 2 days
was 6,780psi (46.75MPa), after 3 days was 7,810psi (53.85 MPa) and after 7days was
8,550psi (58.95MPa).
As previously announced, highly encouraging very early strength of the EdenCrete®
concrete was also obtained. The average compressive strength of the EdenCrete®
concrete at 28 hours after being poured, achieved 5,720 psi (39.4 MPa), exceeding the
minimum strength (4,000psi) that is required for the repaired section to be re-opened for
use, by 1,720psi (11.6 MPa) or a very impressive 43%, and also exceeded by 15.2% the
minimum 28 days strength of 5,000psi.
This very early strength gain is significant operationally and commercially because the
usual time, before which a repaired section can be re-opened, is often around 3-4 days.
In this trial EdenCrete® was added to the concrete mix at 1 US gallon per cubic yard (4.95
litres/ cubic metre) of concrete.
The trial involves monitoring the on-going performance of the EdenCrete® concrete over
the coming months. There is no set period for the trial, although Eden understands that
the review of the performance is likely to undertaken over approximately three months.
--------------------------I am curious as to the 3 month (approx ) period. Does the trial start from 7-2-2020 or the latter 6-3-2020.
One would expect the latter to give more time to the PoS .
As MB49 indicated some -hopefully - results of that trial around early June.
I also assume they only poured in one area for the trial. Also wonder if t he PoS would look at or take into consideration EDE's past trials, work done elsewhere since 7-2-2020/ and approvals by DoTs.
This trial will be of great importance to EDE. If the PoS approves the use of EdenCrete in its future plans, I believe it will be a super endorsement the development and progress of the product.
With the list of DoTs growing -the private operators using it, just to name a few as a number of HC posters are saying......the product is taking traction. Plus all the hype about infrastructure one could expect more positive news from EDE.
Let us hope.
Keep safe all.
