Challenge
At Thunderbird Commerce Center, a new logistics facility owned by Reyes Holdings and slated for completion in Q2 2026, the project team prioritized concrete performance and long-term durability across large slab areas.
Results
To meet these demands, E5® Internal Cure® was used to enhance internal hydration, reduce moisture loss, and eliminate the need for curing compounds. This helped accelerate construction timelines while delivering a durable, low-maintenance slab system built for heavy industrial use.

Project Overview
As part of the ongoing development of Thunderbird Commerce Center, a major logistics facility owned by Reyes Holdings, advanced concrete solutions are being integrated to meet the performance demands of large-scale industrial operations. Scheduled for completion in Q2 2026, the project required a concrete system that could deliver long-term durability, reduced maintenance, and enhanced curing performance across expansive slab areas.
How E5 Elevated Performance
E5® Nano Silica admixtures give control back to the finishing crews and accelerate construction schedules. E5® Nano Silica eliminates hardeners, sealers, and curing compounds. When used as a system, E5® provides internal curing, extremely high abrasion resistance and high FF/FL levels. Crews gain access to the slab much quicker than compared to topically treated slabs.
