Highlights

  • EdenCrete®Pz7 now part of a US$900 million I-70 highway upgrade in Colorado

  • Products used in 22-storey high-rise, two public pools, and multiple tests across Rocky Mountains

  • Concrete gains up to 27% achieved in trials with high pozzolan mix ratios

Shares of Tasman Resources Limited (ASX:TAS) rose 12.5% on Monday following a detailed market update on the growing use of its proprietary EdenCrete® products across several major infrastructure and commercial projects in the United States, particularly in Colorado. The update highlights both current deployments and new opportunities under evaluation for Eden’s nano-carbon concrete additives, with performance gains and sustainability benefits positioning EdenCrete® products for broader market penetration.

High-Rise, Highway, and Public Infrastructure Projects Feature EdenCrete®

EdenCrete®Pz7 has been successfully integrated into three significant construction efforts in the Denver, Colorado area:

  1. Bellview Station Block F – A 22-storey mixed-use high-rise now under construction, requiring approximately 25,000 cubic yards of concrete containing EdenCrete®Pz7. The first pour, involving deep concrete caissons, was completed on 17 June 2025. This project marks a milestone for EdenCrete® in the high-rise construction segment, particularly with leading supplier Holcim on board.

  2. City of Denver Swimming Pools – Two new public swimming pools, including the Swansea Recreation Centre (already completed) and the upcoming Westwood Recreation Centre, are using EdenCrete®-enhanced concrete. The Swansea pool passed stringent ACI 350.1 standards for water tightness, with no leakage reported — an important validation of the product's performance in water-retaining structures.

  3. I-70 Floyd Hill Project – The US$900 million highway improvement project will use EdenCrete®Pz7 throughout an eight-mile corridor in the Rocky Mountains. Concrete supplier Peak Materials has integrated an EdenCrete®Pz7 dispensing system at its Clear Creek facility in readiness for the work, which will run through to 2029.

Ongoing Trials Indicate Broader Adoption Potential

Beyond current deployments, Eden Innovations is seeing increasing interest from other ready-mix concrete companies across the Rocky Mountain region. Trials include both low-strength residential and high-performance commercial mixes.

The results are promising:

  • Standard mixes using 12 oz/cubic yard of Pz7 showed up to 15% compressive strength improvement.

  • In pozzolan-rich mixes replacing 20–38% of Portland cement, strength gains reached 15–27%.
    These performance improvements may offer a compelling case for increased usage, particularly in applications demanding reduced carbon footprints and cost efficiencies.

Technology Positioned for Growing Low-Carbon Concrete Demand

Eden’s full EdenCrete® product suite is designed to deliver multiple benefits to concrete performance — including greater compressive and tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and reduced permeability — which collectively contribute to longer-lasting infrastructure.

Importantly, the Pz and Pz7 variants enable higher substitution of traditional cement with pozzolans, like fly ash or slag, lowering the carbon footprint and often the cost of concrete. As global demand for low-carbon construction materials accelerates, Eden’s proven performance and established U.S. presence provide a competitive edge.
