Tunneling & Mining
Tunnels and diameter of the tunnel drive, the depth of the tunnel, the logistics of supporting the tunnel excavation, the final use and shape of the tunnel and appropriate risk management. Concrete is used to provide support for tunnels through weak rock, stabilizing the rock by filling crack and holes. It also covers the surface, preventing water access...
Concrete Supplying
In many countries contractors buy ready mixed concrete from RMC companies. Ready-mix concrete is the one which is manufactured in a factory or batching plant, according to a set recipe and then delivered to a work site by truck mounted in–transit mixers. This results in an accurate mixture that allows specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites. ...
Government & Military
The Army has a great responsibility of keeping their facilities most in remote areas and bases in top shape. A continuous need for remodeling and new construction of airfields, roads and structures is an ongoing and constant requirement. Military infrastructure in concrete refer as well to all building and permanent installations necessary for the support of military forces, whether they are stationed...
Energy Generation & Distribution
To generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations, water must be in motion. Given that water is the initial source of energy, those power plants are located on rivers, streams and canals. To build a power station it is required a big amount of concrete for building infrastructures like canals, dams, pipes, roads slabs, facilities, etc.. Like other renewable resources, including geothermal, wind power...
Canal lining, Irrigation & WM
Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the land or soil. It is used to assist the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes, revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall. Irrigation systems are also used for dust suppression, disposal of sewage and in mining. Irrigation is often studied together with drainage, that is the natural or artificial removal...
Railways, Roads & Bridges
Concrete pavements are by far the best long-term value comparing to other materials, because it provides longer life expectancies, durability and minimal maintenance requirements. Moreover concrete pavements are recyclable and the entire operation can be accomplished on-site. Nevertheless concrete is used in many others application like curbs and street gutters...
Urban Infrastructure
Concrete is the most essential building material necessary to build infrastructure that sustain our civilization. It provides the raw material to build vital facilities like waterfronts, blocks, bridges, buildings, silos, roads, and airports. It’s also the most economical, enduring and fit-for-purpose building material; delivering strong performance across the three pillars of sustainability...
Residential & Ind. Buildings
Concrete is the most suitable material for construction, since it can withstand whatever compression forces. Moreover it is workable and durable material and can be formed to any shape desired.
The majority of concrete building is found in commercial applications, such as malls and retail stores. In some locations, factory plants feature concrete exterior walls...
Precast & concrete products
Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or “form” which is then cured in a controlled environment, undergoes qualities standard, then transported to the construction site and lifted into place. Precast concrete is used in a variety of projects from home landscaping all the way to massive building and bridge construction...
Piling, Foundation & Soil Stabilization
Concrete pilings are basis elements that extend beneath the ground. It is coupled with steel for ground equilibrium. Once set, pilings are built upon by driven into the ground in site using excavation and drilling. Later on a concrete mix is poured around for reinforcing the whole structure...
