Sustainable Concrete: Positively Impacting the Environment

Hannah Scott June 14, 2022

How Does Concrete Impact the Environment? You have probably noticed that we are big fans of concrete here at Giatec. It is an amazing, durable, and cost-effective material used around the world. In fact, concrete is the second most used material after water! Still, we are aware that no building material is perfect, and it is becoming increasingly important to understand how concrete contributes to important issues like climate change. In this blog, learn all about sustainable concrete and how it revolutionizes the concrete industry. One of the most important elements in a concrete mix design is cement. When mixed with water, this ingredient binds the mix and allows concrete to set, harden, and gain strength. However, there is one problem with the production of this essential element: it emits CO₂. Cement is produced with limestone, which must be heated…

Green Concrete: 7 Tips to Make Your Construction Project Environmentally Friendly

Hannah Scott May 29, 2022

One of our top priorities at Giatec is helping our customers and partners find an environmentally friendly way of building with green concrete. It is no secret that concrete, particularly the cement in a concrete mix, can have a negative impact on the environment due to the CO₂ it produces. There are two reasons for this. First, without cement, concrete cannot be produced as it is the binder of the mix. Second, manufacturing cement produces CO₂ due to fuel burn which keeps the kiln operating because of the calcination process. For every kilogram of cement produced, .81 kilograms of CO₂ is emitted. Although there are plenty of reasons why green concrete is still an excellent choice for building materials, we want to show you how to improve your concrete construction projects. What Makes Environmentally Friendly Concrete? To start, let’s consider what…
