There is a widely held misconception that driven precast, prestressed concrete piles (PCPs) are principally for use in marine and river structures. As a result, PCPs are often prematurely eliminated from consideration during the preliminary design phase of other projects. PCPs are a high-performance, durable, and cost-effective solution that are typically a great choice for many deep foundation projects. Learn more about the many advantages of PCPs in this Aspire Fall 2023 article. https://hubs.li/Q02r1KSN0 #howprecastbuilds Roy Eriksson Eriksson Technologies, Inc.

Mass timber continues to be a popular choice on more and more projects. I’ve seen this renewable material utilized not only on large institutional projects, but increasingly in private developments due to its aesthetic benefits, sustainability, and construction efficiency. This uptake on the private side is proof that it can pencil out and any perceived challenges can be overcome with the right team.   To realize the full potential of mass timber on all projects, Entuitive leverages a multiservice approach by offering: ·        Structural Engineering ·        Fire Engineering and Code Consulting ·        Building Envelope Services ·        Sustainability + Performance ·        Construction Engineering By combining these services in-house on mass timber projects, we can arrive at cost-effective, constructable structural solutions that are aligned with supply chain realities. We also navigate paths to code compliance at the onset of a project to understand which approvals risks need to be mitigated and where to apply alternative solutions. Entuitive will be on hand at the International Mass Timber Conference this week to connect with industry peers and continue to learn about industry advancements in mass timber, while also sharing our own experiences.

For major cities like New York, the struggle to attain greater environmental responsibility is real, with many headwinds pushing back on efforts of all kinds. But when an innovator like this one finds sustainability in ways many of us have never even thought of, we start running out of excuses not to give it a try. PEX piping could make a big difference for #NYC #majorbuildings 

Could PEX-a piping be another tool in building owners' arsenal to help them meet greater sustainability goals? The short answer? Yes, it can! See how ProPEX® contributed to this major building project in Maryland. #RealEstate #Sustainability #Construction #NYC

How can we meet the future requirements for halving the climate impact in new construction? 🏗 The independent report from IVL shows that cast-in-place concrete frames with semi-precast from Thomas Betong AB can achieve 200 kg CO2e/m² gross area. – The report that came out last autumn shows that with our low-carbon precast products in combination with our low-carbon concrete Thomagrön, we can meet future requirements for new construction. There is actually further potential if, for example, the construction is optimized. And that without compromising on the sound class, which can actually be a challenge in other building systems," says Mats Karlsson, product manager at Thomas Betong.
