ROTFL. I've spoken to the former Chief Engineer of a state roads department. One of my closest friends spent over 30 years as an engineering project manager on oil and gas mega projects. The reality is completely disconnected from the holders beliefs . reality :d esign . They have zero influence on the actual concrete purchased (other than stating the required specification). only thing they are interested in is the cost . lowest tender by an approved supplier always wins. commodity product - it only has to meet the minimum specifications.no real interest in concrete other than it being safe and cost effective. 1000 'standard' mixes are in the catalogue. Nobody wants to take risks on 'novel' products (aka those that have been used for less than about 20 years). It often >50 years for a new concrete technology to become mainstream. (Eg geopolymers are still considered novel in Western countries after 70 years). not deal with small companies for any critical product or service. [n fact it usually prohibited by the risk management policy.] many more years of testing before CNT admixtures are mainstream. When/if it does happen it will almost certainly be huge companies like Sika and BASF that are supplying the product.

What you are saying is normally quite correct. But it’s possible that sometimes someone has a new product that is a game changer for the industry that has proven valid value and benefits such as Edencreat. EDE have been laying a great deal of foundations (excuse the pun) in real test situations and proven to have exceptional benefits. Hopefully Edencreat will quickly become the new electric car of the concrete industry.
