Concrete’s hectic morning shows a simple truth: plant to pour is a carefully managed journey, not just a delivery. From batching and mixing to transport,…
At Giatec’s Concrete Tech Summit in May 2025, Mark Masotti, CEO, and Alex Hanmore, Manager of Concrete Technologies at AlterBiota made a compelling case for…
Concrete performance—especially at early ages—is highly sensitive to environmental conditions. While ambient temperature is the most recognized factor, wind speed and relative humidity also significantly…
The concrete industry is under growing pressure. Producers must maintain high-quality standards while also reducing costs, material waste, and carbon emissions. Traditional mix management methods…
Ready-mix producers face a critical blind spot: once the truck leaves the batch plant, they lose visibility into what’s happening inside the drum. Yet this…
A Jobsite Then and Now Today’s construction sites look very different from those even a decade ago. While core machinery like cranes and mixers remains…
A Review of Top Wired and Wireless Temperature and Strength Concrete Sensors Big Projects Deserve Better Protection Keep mega pours safe from cold-weather risks. Real-time…
The internet has an extraordinary amount of knowledge on any topic, including concrete and construction! At the same time, we know that not all of…
Concrete mixers are essential machines in the construction industry, designed to combine cement, aggregates (like sand or gravel), and water to form concrete. This mixture…
The concrete industry has long been known for its slow adoption of new technologies. While this caution may serve to maintain traditional methods, it leaves…
Concrete is one of the most versatile and widely used materials in construction around the world, offering strength, durability, and adaptability. However, the same four…
Concrete is one of the most durable and widely used construction materials, but it is still susceptible to damage from water, chemicals, and environmental wear….
The modulus of elasticity of concrete is a critical property that significantly influences the performance and durability of concrete structures. In Türkiye, where construction projects…
Concrete setting time is a crucial factor in construction, affecting everything from project timelines to the structural integrity of buildings. In the UK, where weather…
Achieving high-performance concrete requires careful consideration of mixture proportions. In Türkiye, where construction projects demand both durability and strength, optimizing these proportions is crucial. In…
In concrete production, the truck does not simply serve as a means of transportation. The mixer plays a key role in the manufacturing process, functioning…
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…
Concrete is a durable and versatile construction material, but its performance can be significantly affected by environmental conditions. For ready-mix contractors operating in regions where…
