While we take immense pride in our heritage, we’re also excited about innovations shaping the future of concrete. A recent study by the University of Birmingham reveals that adding nitrogen to concrete could significantly cut NOx levels, reducing harmful emissions by 6-13% of industry-related NOx emissions from 2021. By 2050, this could equate to a reduction of 131-384 Mt in NOx emissions! This breakthrough could vastly improve urban air quality, particularly in rapidly developing regions.

Know Your Cracks! Shrinkage Cracks Shrinkage cracks are common in freshly poured concrete and result from the natural drying and curing process. As water evaporates, the concrete shrinks, leading to small, often fine cracks on the surface. While shrinkage cracks are generally superficial and do not compromise structural integrity, they may not look the best. Proper curing practices and the use of shrinkage-reducing additives in the concrete mix can help reduce the chance of them happening. 031 701 1727 https://lnkd.in/eqcKb7v #Cretemix #ConcreteCracks #ShrinkageCracks #ConcreteTips #DurbanConstruction
