High-Performance and Ultra-High-Performance Concrete: Innovations Driving the Future of Construction
Concrete is everywhere: bridges, tunnels, skyscrapers, highways. It’s easy to take it for granted. But behind the scenes, concrete is undergoing a major transformation. For…
Recycled Concrete for High-Impact 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,…
Concrete EPDs – How to Develop, Implement, and Benchmark
Concrete production is essential to infrastructure development, but its environmental cost is significant. While construction industry contributes to 11% of global CO2 emissions, concrete is…
Concrete Corrosion Testing: How to Choose the Right Non-Destructive Method
Concrete corrosion testing is the assessment of whether, where, and how fast the steel reinforcement inside a concrete structure is corroding. Modern practice does this…
Concrete Mix Design Software: How AI-Driven Optimization Works and What to Look For
Concrete mix design software is a digital tool that helps ready-mix producers and concrete engineers design, optimize, and manage concrete mixtures. Instead of running ACI…
Sustainable Concrete: Positively Impacting the Environment
Sustainable concrete is concrete produced and used in ways that minimize CO₂ emissions, reduce cement content, and extend service life without compromising strength or durability….
Green Concrete: 7 Tips to Make Your Construction Project Environmentally Friendly
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…
Concrete-Eating Robots – The Future of Recycling Old Buildings
The process of demolishing a building involves heavy machinery to crush concrete and separate valuable materials that can be reused. Current methods consume quite a significant amount of time and money in order…
Salt on Concrete Roads Damage Outweighs the Benefits
Winter in colder climates such as Canada, Alaska, and the Upper Mid-West entails treacherous and unpredictable driving conditions, with snow and ice build-up making roads unsafe. For over 70 years, the solution to this problem has been to cover roads with sodium chloride…
Building Clean Energy: Mass Concrete Temperature Monitoring with SmartRock®
As global initiatives to go carbon-neutral continue to push the demand for sustainable and renewable energy sources, many are looking to wind farms as a green solution to energy needs. Wind power…

The Limitations of the Concrete Maturity Method
As a company that develops and produces concrete testing equipment, we can’t stress how important it is to properly test concrete with reliable equipment. In…
Concrete Maturity vs. Concrete Cylinder Test: Which Method is More Effective?
When it comes to any construction project that requires the use of concrete, whether it’s a hospital, residential building, road, bridge, or dam, concrete strength…
Wood vs. Concrete: The Best Choice for Builders and GCs
Wood and concrete have been used in construction for thousands of years and for good reason. Both materials have properties that make them appealing building…
Potholes—An Expensive and Recurring Problem for Cities
Potholes are a huge problem all over North America, but nowhere are the detrimental effects more evident than in Canada’s capital, Ottawa. According to CTV…
How Concrete Can Reap Solid Environmental and Economic Benefits
