Ready-mixed concrete producers often overdesign their mixtures above the required average strength to ensure field performance despite the variability of several factors that are outside of a producer’s control. Since failure to meet required strength can…
Another innovation is transpiring in the world of concrete, but not in the technology and software aspect. Apple Inc. has begun another project, unconventional from their standard technology devices from smartphones and computers to general software….
The construction industry is undergoing a tech-driven transformation as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes an integral part of how we build. Long-standing challenges, from skilled labour shortages to safety risks and slim profit margins, are driving firms…
Smart construction is reshaping how we build by combining AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics across every project phase. As a result, it has become a strategic performance driver, helping firms complete projects…
Modern construction faces a dual challenge: meeting infrastructure demands while cutting environmental impact. The building sector accounts for nearly 39% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions, with 11% tied to materials and construction processes. Traditional concrete is…
Buildings use about 40% of global energy and generate over a third of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why net-zero buildings matter. They’re designed to cut or offset emissions, so they add no extra CO₂ to the…
Smart cities are no longer a futuristic idea. They’re being built now, transforming how we live and how we build. These tech-driven cities use data to solve real urban challenges, from traffic to energy to climate…
Concrete slump affects more than just the mix; it impacts profitability, productivity, and performance across your entire operation. Even small variations can have a ripple effect, causing delays, wasted materials, and driving up costs. Yet, traditional…
Construction sites are powered by technology that drives efficiency, protects workers, and reduces environmental impact. Contractors are moving past traditional methods and turning to smart, connected tools that help them stay on schedule, improve accuracy, and…
Construction remains one of the most hazardous industries in the world. In the U.S. alone, the annual cost of work-related injuries and illnesses exceeds $97 billion. These costs include far more than medical treatment; they extend…
The construction industry is undergoing major changes. As cities grow and emission rules get stricter, companies are reevaluating the equipment they use. In 2025, construction machinery will no longer be just about raw power. They are…
Germany has long been known for its rigorous engineering and construction standards, and its concrete regulations are no exception. Recent updates to DIN 1045-2 and DIN 1045-3 reinforce the importance of precision and performance on every…
Civil engineering is undergoing a rapid transformation. With the demand for smarter infrastructure, sustainable design, and emerging technologies on the rise, the expectations for civil engineers are evolving fast. Biggest SmartRock® Savings of the Year are…
Governments and builders are under pressure to meet climate goals. But that doesn’t mean giving up performance. The good news? Many of today’s top building materials are stronger, cleaner, and smarter. Biggest SmartRock® Savings of the…
In today’s high-stakes construction environment, reactive decisions cost more than money. They cost time, credibility, and client trust. As the industry faces tighter deadlines, stricter regulations, and growing demands for sustainability, there’s an urgent need to…
The construction industry is going through some big changes. Robots, AI, and smart sensors are starting to show up on jobsites, helping crews work faster, safer, and with more accuracy than ever before. Whether it’s a…
Three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) is an innovative construction method that employs additive manufacturing techniques to create structures by layering concrete material based on digital designs. This approach offers numerous advantages over traditional construction methods, including enhanced…
In the competitive world of ready-mix concrete production, the choice and management of materials are becoming increasingly important. Rising material costs and environmental concerns push producers to rethink how they manage their concrete mixtures. In this…
