About Steelike® UHPC

For over 20 years, Steelike, Inc. founder Bill Kulish has been at the forefront of cementitious material design innovation. In the process, the founder of the former Kulish Design Company discovered the unique properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), and Bill became committed to developing his own UHPC material from the ground up. In time, after hundreds of trials, Bill succeeded in creating a a new and unique UHPC.. This new UHPC has been submitted to a series rigorous tests in accordance with ASTM International standards, which have shown that it meets the requirements of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for UHPC and it performs as well as, and for some properties, better than other commercially available UHPC products. In 2014, Bill Kulish’s UHPC was commercialized for the first time, offering the marketplace a new UHPC material with a unique chemistry. Today this new product is marketed as Steelike® UHPC.
