150 Years of Construction in Canada

Celebrating Innovations in Concrete and ConstructionGone are the days of horse-drawn carts and unpaved roads. Before ready-mix trucks were invented, concrete construction was driven by horse power. In those times, horses would trek rugged terrain with carts straddled behind them, transporting concrete. These carts were equipped with a not-too-distant innovation similar to the spirals found in the mix trucks of today. The horse-drawn carts featured wooden paddles that would churn the concrete mix for consistency, deriving energy from the wheel rotations as the horses moved.

Examining Polymer Concrete

Eliminating the Need for Portland Cement in ConcreteAlthough polymer concrete only became well known in the 1970s, it was first introduced in the late 50s. Thanks to its development through the years, the polymerized monomer is now able to replace Portland cement as a binder in concrete. Polymer concrete presents many superior properties to traditional concrete utilizing Portland cement, including high compressive and impact strength, fast curing, low permeability, and resistance to chemicals and corrosive agents. Thanks to these properties, it has found applications in very specialized domains around the world. Keep your winter pours in check with the Free Concrete Pour Checklist.

Reducing The Concrete Industry’s Carbon Footprint

The Advancement of Direct Air Capture TechnologyIf drastic changes regarding CO2 emissions aren’t made soon, the world will be in dire need of large-scale projects to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere by 2030. Direct-air capture technology has the ability to suck carbon dioxide from the air—think: a machine that acts like a group of trees on steroids. Although most of these technologies are still in the early phase of testing and experts have been wary of the possibility of fully functional direct air capture machines, companies in Switzerland (Climeworks), Canada (Carbon Engineering), and the United-States (Global Thermostat) are eager to prove them wrong.
