"How do buildings stand tall against powerful winds and seismic forces? The answer lies in wind brace brackets—small but mighty components ensuring structural stability. At Sharcon, we combine precision and innovation in steel detailing to make structures safer and more efficient. Check out our latest blog to see how we’re redefining modern construction!" https://lnkd.in/gysQBY3t

We went to New Zealand! (Well… kind of)   The Cerecon team recently completed a transformative project at an SCL (spent cell lining) processing facility in Invercargill, New Zealand. These critical feeder bins required specialized engineering to meet operational ⚙️ and environmental 🌱 standards under unique seismic conditions. Here’s how we approached it:   1. Precision Structural Analysis: From static to dynamic response analyses, we refined structural elements to meet AU and NZ standards—boosting safety and resilience.   2. Seismic and Fatigue-Resistant Design: Reinforced with cleat plates and bracing splices, these bins are ready to withstand dynamic loads while preventing fatigue-ensuring the bins stand strong, even under dynamic loads.   3. Sustainability Focus: -Circular Economy: Supporting SCL’s transformation into geopolymer cement. -Material Efficiency: High-strength materials for durability with minimal waste. -Future-Ready: Modular designs ensure easy upgrades and extended life. By working closely with our client, we delivered targeted improvements and ensured compliance with New Zealand’s seismic standards—supporting a safer, more sustainable future for the industry 🌏🫶   Curious how we can support your project?

💪 Primus Line® technology: Efficient and flexible installation solution 💪 Primus Line® technology shows its strengths particularly during installation thanks to its innovative annular space design: 🔹 Feed through bends: smooth feed through bends of up to 90 degrees and even through tight bends with a small radius (r = 1.5xD at 90 degrees). 🔹 Flexibility with pipe diameters: Overcomes different pipe diameters along a line (due to repairs or when different pipeline materials were combined). These properties make Primus Line® the ideal solution for complex installations and ensure maximum efficiency and reliability. #TrenchlessRehabilitation

Engineers faced a crucial challenge during the planning phase of this project. They were concerned that the additional fill load over the tunnel could potentially lead to overburden stress, jeopardizing its integrity. The ingenious solution of employing a construction technique called net zero loading was implemented to tackle this issue. Aerix’s AERLITE®-iX Low-Density Cellular Concrete (LDCC) is lightweight and extremely flowable, making it an ideal product for this project. The use of AERLITE®-iX LDCC as a replacement backfill material will address settlement concerns, preventing potential structural issues and ensuring long-term stability. https://ow.ly/6Jml50QmSNg

We all recognise that reducing carbon is essential for our industry and the health of our planet. It’s why it’s so important that we share and learn from each other as we strive for net-zero carbon. It was great to have shared our insights at this week’s second Annual Conference on Foundation Decarbonization and Re-use in Amsterdam. Two of our Cementation Skanska piling and ground engineering experts, Deon Louw and Robert West, presented on some of the low carbon initiatives that we’ve developed as part of our work with the Skanska Costain STRABAG JV for HS2 at Euston Approaches. This includes alongside our co-presenters Bauer. Zero trim piling: carbon cut by 1.1 million kg Co2 and 60,000 manual hand breaking hours eliminated – improving safety for our people. Basalt technology: used in place of steel rebar on piling guidewalls, saving 30% embodied carbon. Low carbon concrete: developed high cement replacement concrete mixes for use in permanent works, achieving a 45% reduction in embodied carbon. Electric rig: zero local emissions with mains powered piling rig. #FoundationReuse #Bauer #SkanskaCostainSTRABAGJV Discover more https://bit.ly/4c1AUcA
