Concrete durability is one of the most important quality properties of this construction material, playing a vital role in the service life and stability of structures. Being the most widely used construction material, concrete is exposed to various environmental conditions that can affect its performance and durability. These factors include high humidity, penetration of corrosive […]

Concrete batching plants are among the most critical and sensitive elements of construction and industrial projects. Continuous mechanical operations, the use of chemicals, and the transportation of large volumes of materials and electrical equipment make batching plants one of the highest-risk areas on any site. In such environments, strict compliance with HSE (Health, Safety & […]

In marine civil engineering projects such as ports, dams, bridge foundations, and coastal structures, one of the primary challenges engineers face is the successful execution of concrete placement in saturated and aquatic environments. Underwater concreting requires not only high technical expertise but also the selection of appropriate materials, specialized equipment, and precise execution methods to […]

Transparent concrete is one of the most innovative achievements in contemporary architecture, turning the dream of transmitting light through concrete into reality. In 2001, Hungarian architect Áron Losonczi created a material by combining fine optical fibers and concrete—resulting in a substance that is both strong and capable of transmitting light. This innovation, known as transparent […]

Earthquake-resistant buildings are considered essential solutions aimed at reducing the damage caused by earthquakes in urban environments. These buildings are designed in a way that enables them to resist seismic forces and prevent severe damage to people and infrastructure. In this context, important information about the basic characteristics of earthquake-resistant buildings, the materials used, and […]

Concrete production factories and large-scale construction projects such as road construction, dam building, and skyscraper construction often prefer to establish an on-site concrete production station proportional to the project’s needs. This approach is generally more cost-effective than purchasing ready-mixed concrete from a supplier. This on-site production station is called a batching plant. In this article […]
