Contracted by the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground conducted a side-by-side test of ABC vs. the Army Corps of Engineers’ SACON (Shock Absorbing Concrete). ABC met or exceeded all SACON benchmarks, and is now the standard concrete for U.S. Marine Corps live-fire training facilities.
