The Region of Peel had plans to build a new Salt Dome to support their winter maintenance operations. Salt Domes are subjected to all kinds of heavy traffic and wear-and-tear. From heavy transport delivery trucks to front end loaders scraping the floor slab, these facilities need to withstand a lot.

To combat these challenges, the original specification called for a traditional surface-applied hardener for the concrete floor slab and dome walls. The City was concerned whether this hardener would actually be able to provide the long-term durability needed for the life-cycle of the facility.
