Concrete technology and products that ensure durability and quality to construction projects.

Curing is often treated as something to sort out once the concrete is down. By then, the clock is already running.

Hydration starts immediately, and without proper curing even a well-designed mix can underperform. That is why curing belongs in the design conversation, not just the delivery one.

AS3600 doesn't prescribe exact curing methods, but it assumes curing is done well enough to meet strength, shrinkage and durability outcomes. When curing is overlooked in planning, it becomes a hidden weakness that shows up when it's too late to fix.

Whether it's a basement slab, an industrial floor or a house slab, your curing method should match the structural outcome you're targeting.

There’s technical data, and then there’s feedback from the person actually finishing the slab.

We used E5 Internal Cure on this forklift ramp, and the concreter called us afterwards because of how the surface behaved. He could stand on the slab with almost no indentation, but the surface was still creamy and workable.

For a concreter, that extended workability can make a real difference when you’re trying to get the finish right without fighting the concrete.

Great to hear this sort of feedback straight from site.

Building a design platform doesn't stop once the first module ships.

Footing Design and Pile Analysis are the next two pieces, extending Mi Concrete Design past slabs and into more of the projects you're designing. Same free access, same one-browser-tab setup.

Hooks grip at the ends. Twists grip all the way along.

Cracks will happen. What matters is what the fibres do next.

When a crack opens, the fibres across it are what hold it together. If they pull out, the crack keeps widening. That's when you get the problems nobody wants: wider cracks, water getting in, edges breaking down, and callbacks after handover.

A hooked-end fibre is anchored mostly at its ends. Once the hook straightens, there's not much left holding it in place.

SteelX is twisted along its full length. To pull out, it has to untwist through the concrete, so the whole fibre resists, not just the ends. It keeps gripping as the crack widens.

Watch the pullout test and you'll see the difference.

Want to understand what makes SteelX 8:45 different?

The secret is in the twist. 🔩

SteelX 8:45 is a Twisted Steel Reinforcement (TSR) product designed to mechanically engage with the surrounding concrete.

As it is pulled through the concrete, it has to untwist through the matrix rather than simply slide out.

That torsional anchorage is what creates such a strong interaction with the concrete and helps SteelX deliver a stable response after cracking.

In simple terms, it’s not just sitting in the concrete, it’s actively working with it.

🎥 This pullout test gives a great visual of how that mechanism works in practice.

If you want to learn more about where SteelX 8:45 can add value in your next concrete design, talk to us.

E5 Internal Cure and E5 Liquid Fly Ash were incorporated into the shotcrete mix to help improve durability and reduce permeability.

For pool structures, keeping water where it belongs is critical.

E5 Internal Cure helps retain water inside the concrete so the cement can hydrate more effectively, while E5 Liquid Fly Ash helps create a denser concrete matrix with fewer pathways for water to move through.

The result is concrete designed to perform better from the inside out.

That makes the E5 combination well suited to applications such as:

-Swimming pools
-Water-retaining structures
-Shotcrete walls
-Below-ground concrete
-Projects where long-term durability matters

It’s a simple idea: improve the concrete itself, rather than relying only on surface-applied solutions later.

Construction is hard enough without the concrete making it harder.

Every pour has a program to meet, a team to coordinate, a design to deliver and a result everyone needs to stand behind.

At McClay Industries, we’re focused on helping make that part of the job better, bringing practical thinking and better concrete solutions to the people designing, managing and building projects every day.

That’s what Make Concrete Better is all about.

Better. Faster. Stronger.

A carpark entrance works hard from day one.

Constant vehicle movement, turning loads, weather exposure and daily wear all place demand on the concrete.

For this project, E5 Internal Cure and SteelX 5:25 were incorporated into the mix to help improve durability and crack control.

The aim was simple: build better performance into the concrete from the start. No added complexity. Just a smarter approach to long-term performance.

Have a carpark, pavement or high-traffic slab coming up? Talk to McClay Industries about designing better concrete from day one.

There's a reason more engineers are picking MiCD over a stack of spreadsheets.

It's a free concrete design platform — run your CCAA T48 and AS3600 calcs in one place instead of cross-checking two or three tools every time you touch a load case. And if you want the extra edge, SteelX is built right in.
