For its Ductal Cladding and Ductal Envelope concrete panel solutions, building materials giant Holcim uses reinforcement with fibres made from polyvinyl alcohol resin (PVA). More specifically, Holcim uses Kuralon fibres from the specialty chemicals company Kuraray for reinforcement. Find out more. #concretepanels #reinforcement #pva #uhpc #precastconcrete

Prefabrication in transition: Building a successful future through innovation. The Engineering Days took place in Salzburg as a global discussion platform for precast concrete specialists. Of course, Jens Maurus and Karla Knitter from BFT International were also there again. Many thanks to ALLPLAN, RIB SAA Software Engineering, and Prilhofer Consulting GmbH & Co. KG for valuable insights into innovations, technologies and trends. We will be back again. #prefabrication #congress #concretespecialists #precastconcrete #software #salzburg

Steel-reinforced concrete is used by the construction industry all over the world. But it has one weakness: its reinforcement is subject to corrosion. To minimize this risk, it is sometimes protected by hydrophobation. Carbon concrete does not have this weakness – it may nevertheless be advisable to protect this innovative construction material from ingress of water and, in this way, from frost damage. solidian, in collaboration with panta ingenieure GmbH, has examined the effect of relevant chemicals on carbon reinforcement.

The terms craftsmanship and one-offs are usually not associated with large concrete elements. But what appears to be heavy industrial production is often an individually manufactured piece of craftsmanship. This becomes readily clear when visiting the Betonwerk Müller precast plant located in Achern, in southern Germany. Find out more here. KRENN GmbH & Co.

The German Federal Foundation for the Environment funds the „SUScon“ research project. In this context, the Hering Bau station platform specialist and the scientific partners involved could develop new concrete mix designs, allowing considerable improvements of the carbon footprint of precast concrete elements while maintaining the same quality.

Engineering Days 2024 is just around the corner and promises to be a highlight for the precast concrete industry. Based on the theme of ‚Transforming Prefabrication: Creating a successful future through innovation‘, the congress provides a platform for experts to exchange ideas on the latest developments and trends in the precast industry.

Sustainable concepts and the resource-saving use of raw and building materials as well as digitalisation are increasingly coming into focus. The IAB-Tage Beton in Weimar, in which Kristin Hanneforth, Karla Knitter and Jens Maurus from BFT International are also taking part, will show how the construction industry can meet these challenges.
