One of the most discussed topics in the construction industry is currently on sustainability and how our structures impact the environment. Sustainability is one of the main benefits of precast concrete. Precast concrete is a versatile and durable material, has virtually no waste, is energy efficient, assists with reaching green/LEED certification, and enhances the longevity of our structures. An excellent example of sustainability is Fred D. Thompson U.S. Courthouse and Federal Building in Tennessee. The precast concrete facade features photocatalytic concrete, which leverages a specially formulated cement capable of using the sun’s rays to oxidize nitrogen oxides. This special cement gives the concrete a self-cleaning ability, which minimizes maintenance and contributes to the building's longevity. The photocatalytic cement also reacts with the surrounding environment to effectively remove pollutants from the air.

The Blue Hill Falls Bridge is a historic structure enjoyed by the community; however, after years of use it was in need of a replacement. Many design proposals were explored for the new bridge, ultimately the design team decided on a precast, prestressed concrete girder bridge. The precast concrete producer, J.P. Carrara & Sons, Inc. , used accelerated bridge construction methods to expedite on-site work. The use of precast concrete limited disruption for commuters, was environmentally conscious, and provided a durable infrastructure solution for the public, all while reducing carbon footprint. This project is a 2025 PCI Design Award Winner in the Transportation category, Best Bridge with a Main Span from 76-200 Feet.

💡𝐏𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧-𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲💡 Post-tensioned slabs leverage a specialised construction method, reducing both concrete volume and slab reinforcement, while enhancing structural performance compared to traditional reinforced concrete structures. Working toward a low-carbon concrete future is becoming a reality with post-tensioning structures. By optimising material usage and enhancing structural efficiency, post-tensioning significantly lowers the carbon footprint of construction projects, paving the way for more sustainable building practices. The precision and strength of post-tensioned concrete allow for reduced material consumption without compromising structural integrity. This not only cuts down on costs but also leads to significant reductions in embodied carbon. Let’s take a closer look at how these savings are manifesting in the Australian and New Zealand markets. #PostTensioning #Concrete #Building #Construction #Infrastructure James Mizzi Dave Sharp James Woods Lance Rogers Tim Peters Sander van Ameijde Michael Cleven

Building the World: 4 Essential Construction Practices! #ConstructionKnowledge Solid Foundations: From footings to piles, a strong base ensures building stability. #FoundationsMatter Reinforced Concrete: The marriage of steel & concrete creates structures that can withstand heavy loads. #Strong Together Waterproofing Membranes: Keeping moisture out protects structures & extends their lifespan. #Building Durability Sustainable Materials: From recycled steel to energy-efficient windows, we're building greener! #SustainableConstruction What other practices would you add

🏗️✨ #Engineering and materials have an immense impact on how you build and achieve the unobstructed spaces you need. Framing and system specifications when building with pre-engineered steel building systems allow your facility to have the large, open spaces. 🌟📐 #SteelBuilding - Read this blog by Summit Steel Buildings 👉 https://t.ly/npIil

Did you know that steel is the backbone of modern construction? With its strength, durability, and flexibility, it's no wonder why it's the top choice for building skyscrapers and bridges. Steel structures are also lighter and easier to transport than traditional materials, making them more cost-effective in the long run. Not to mention, steel is recyclable and sustainable, reducing our carbon footprint on the environment. Next time you look up at a towering skyscraper or drive across a sturdy bridge, remember that steel is what holds it all together! #SteelConstruction #StrengthandDurability #ModernBuildings #SustainableChoice #EnvironmentallyFriendly #steelconstruction #buildingstrength #durabilityatitsfinest #PEBpro #pebpro #modernarchitecture #innovativeengineering #nre #NRE

Post-and-slab: a construction solution for large indoor spaces that can also be applied to timber buildings. But how? With the help of concrete. For floors that are particularly resistant to deformation and vibrations, greater distance between columns and reduced transport costs, read all the tips, and learn more about solutions that didn't exist before, the article is here: https://lnkd.in/eh5Ag-By

No compromises here. These foundations aren't going to go anywhere!
