Type I Portland Cement
Type I Portland Cement is a general purpose cement and is the most commonly used cement for everyday applications. At Fortress Cement, our Type I cement delivers consistent performance with balanced strength development and heat generation, making it ideal for a wide range of construction needs where specialized properties aren’t required. This versatile cement is well-suited for projects not exposed to high sulfate environments or extreme heat from hydration. Typical applications include: Sidewalks and roadways Reinforced concrete buildings and bridges Railway and transit infrastructure Water tanks, sewer systems, and pipelines Masonry units and general concrete construction Fortress Cement provides reliable, high-quality Type I cement engineered to meet the demands of builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers across the Carolinas.
Type II Portland Cement
Formulated for enhanced durability in environments where moderate sulfate resistance and controlled heat of hydration are essential. Fortress Cement’s Type II offering is ideal for structures exposed to soil or groundwater containing moderate levels of sulfate, or where a slower rate of heat buildup is beneficial to reduce the risk of cracking. With its lower heat profile compared to Type I, this cement is commonly used in: Foundations and retaining walls Large concrete pours and mass structures Stormwater management systems Marine or coastal infrastructure Wastewater treatment facilities Underground utilities and pipe systems Engineered for performance and resilience, Fortress Cement’s Type II cement supports long-lasting construction in challenging environments across the Southeast.
