DiamondDrive™ is the exclusive premium driveway mix featuring a unique Tri-Tech formula. This blend of premium materials creates denser, more durable concrete with superior resistance to water penetration, cracking, and popouts.
DiamondDrive™ provides built-in resistance to moisture and chemicals from day one, similar to sealed concrete. It achieves 32.5 MPa compressive strength, recommended for challenging climates.
Designed for minimal maintenance and lowered life cycle costs.
Formulated for a 150-millimetre slump, places and finishes like standard concrete with no special tools needed.
Protects against flaws that compromise appearance and performance in harsh weather.
Our CBM Concrete Solutions product line covers a wide range of project needs – from self-consolidating and high-workability flatwork mixes to fibre-reinforced, accelerated strength, extended workability, and durability-focused formulations. All mixes are performance-based and CSA-compliant. Our technical team can also develop custom mix designs for projects with specific structural or environmental requirements.
We work directly with engineers and contractors before the first truck arrives – reviewing exposure class, strength development, pumping distances, and workability windows to build a concrete program around your project, not around a standard product. The Gordie Howe International Bridge, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, and 141 Bay are examples of that process at work.
Yes. Every customer has access to the same ready mix concrete solutions and quality-controlled mixes that go into our largest builds. Get in touch with your local CBM representative to discuss your requirements.
CBM is proud to be part of Votorantim Cimentos, one of the largest building materials companies in the world. Our VC Way is the operating philosophy that runs across the entire Votorantim Cimentos family – and it shapes how our teams work every day. For our customers, that means decisions made close to the job, clear communication from order to delivery, and accountability that does not stop once the truck leaves the plant. The work we did at Ripley’s Aquarium, the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and other countless projects reflects exactly that – sustained technical collaboration, dependable execution, and a standard of care that holds across the full life of a project.
The Tri-Tech blend combines optimized air entrainment (5-8%), a low water/cement ratio (0.45), and premium supplementary cementitious materials that create a denser paste matrix from day one. This built-in protection reduces water absorption and scaling even before surface sealing, delivering performance comparable to sealed concrete in harsh winter climates.
The guaranteed 32.5 MPa at 28 days exceeds most regional residential driveway specifications and provides a substantial margin against edge cracking, corner breaks, and surface deterioration under repeated vehicle loading. Paired with the dense microstructure, this strength supports longer joint spacing and resists the pop-outs and spalling common in lower-strength residential mixes.
Yes. DiamondDrive™ is engineered for a consistent 150 mm slump with excellent cohesion and workability, supporting conventional screeding, floating, and troweling practices. The optional retarder extends working time for larger driveways, while the accelerator version supports cooler weather placements, all while maintaining premium finish quality without burnishing or specialty tools.
