Perk-Crete Pervious Concrete
Pervious concrete is a mix of Portland cement, coarse aggregate, water and admixtures. Because there is little or no sand in the mix, the pore structure contains many voids that allow water and air to pass through.
Perk-Crete Advantage:
Perk-Crete concrete solves a real problem for owners and builders by providing the most logical, economical and environmental solution for stormwater management.
When the heavens break loose, a water deluge hitting a Perk-Crete placement is intercepted, contained, filtered and delivered back to the aquifer as nature intended. Performance is achieved in conjunction with the highest levels of “elegance and charm” desired by owners.
The Perk-Crete mix design delivered by Cape Cod
Ready Mix represents years of product development and testing. Engineered performance attributes include:
• duty cycle measured in decades
• freeze / thaw protection
• high impact resistance for plow blade
protection
New federally mandated storm water management regulations are in effect making pervious concrete systems a viable solution. While the EPA recognizes pervious concrete as a Best Management Practice (BMP), building owners are realizing better land utilization and LEED credits with pervious concrete parking lots. Pervious concrete applications can be used as an alternative to complex drainage systems and water retention areas in reducing storm water runoff.

Perk-Crete CCRM Data Sheet (click link)
CCRM Pervious Structural Fill: When used in combination with blocks of the appropriate shape, our pervious structural backfill attaches itself to the wall facing, effectively extending the depth and mass of the facing. The structural backfill zone also serves as the required drainage zone directly behind the block facing

Flowable Fill
Flowable Fill is a versatile “liquid soil” which is placed as a flowable liquid, yet hardens and rapidly develops excellent load-bearing properties with no compaction necessary.
Cape Cod Ready Mix delivers a range of flowable fill products to meet specific project needs. For applications where a fast set time is desirable we offer “QUICK SET” which is ideal for street and traffic applications.
Waterproof Concrete
Cape Cod Ready Mix Waterproof Concrete with integral crystalline additive
We supply integral crystalline waterproofing for projects requiring high levels of watertightness. Unlike a coating or membrane solution, crystalline waterproofing becomes an integral part of the concrete. This enhances durability by reducing permeability of the concrete, preventing water and other corrosives agents from penetrating.
- Seals Leaking Cracks: capillary tracts and cracks in concrete up to 400 microns in width are sealed and waterproofed
- Integral: becomes an integral part of the concrete and reduces permeability; waterproofing, chemical resistance and other enhanced concrete properties remain intact even after surface damage
- Permanent: once the concrete is treated, the crystals remain active and part of the concrete for life
