BETONSTAR Concrete Pumps’ Post

𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬 are the backbone of modern high-rise construction. These engineering marvels enable builders to lift and move heavy materials with ease, making them indispensable on large construction sites. But have you ever wondered how they operate and reach such staggering heights? Unlike hydraulic machines, tower cranes rely on powerful electric motors to function. They can lift loads of up to 100 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐬 and extend over 250 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 tall. The installation process is equally fascinating. A strong concrete foundation is first laid, and the crane's mast sections are lifted and added using a telescopic crane. As the building grows taller, so does the crane, using a telescoping mechanism powered by hydraulic pumps. The jib, which can extend up to 70 meters, carries materials along the trolley, rotating and lifting with precision. Want to learn more about how these machines shape our skylines?

𝗙𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝘁: 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 Floating docks, pontoon structures, pilings, and #offshoreplatform caisson legs are a normal part of the marine environment. Corrosion inside these tubular voids or steel floats is a natural, yet insidious, response to these often damp, sometimes high-chloride conditions. As such, floating structures and caisson legs are at high risk for rusting from the inside out, while at the same time being difficult to protect. 💡 Cortec Corporation  provides "self applying" Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors are an excellent match for these interiors, offering effective protection that is easy to apply.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Arkema and Sireg Geotech Develop Bendable Composite Rebar for Construction Sector Arkema and Sireg Geotech have developed the world's first bendable composite rebar. It provides an innovative alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. It is based on Arkema's Elium® resin. Sireg's Glasspree® TP bars represent a breakthrough for the construction sector. Double the Tensile Strength of Steel Sireg's fiberglass bars using the Elium® thermoplastic resin have double the tensile strength of steel. They stand out by their remarkable light weight (75% lighter than steel), their corrosion-proof property and their chemical resistance. They show dimensional stability in the event of extreme thermal changes and are also fully recyclable. They contribute to the energy efficiency of structures. Also, they significantly reduce the carbon footprint of maintenance activities. The Elium® thermoplastic resin ensures a major gain in productivity as well as greater flexibility for the supply of composite reinforcement, thus improving the overall profitability of construction projects. The range of applications of Sireg's Glasspree® TP bars is huge. It can be used for construction, maintenance, repair of buildings, bridges, tunnels, as well as marine and coastal structures, which demonstrates their adaptability. “Glasspree® TP bars were developed through cooperation between Sireg and Arkema. They represent an innovation in the reinforcement of concrete structures as well as a new benchmark in terms of safety, reliability, and sustainability,” says Sonja Blanc, CEO Sireg. For bridges these materials ensure an estimated service life of twice that of steel (i.e. 100 years), lighter weight, and superior corrosion resistance in a saline environment, lower lifecycle costs, and a lower impact on the environment.

'Forgiving' is the key word for E5 Internal Cure admixture. Even at 37 deg C, with extreme hot weather condition for such a large open slab without a single plastic shrinkage crack is the true testimony of its forgiving characteristics. The result will not be limited to a crack free beautiful surface, but also a durable, curl free, tough abrasion resistance floor without the requirement of evaporation retarder, wet curing/curing compound, floor hardener, and shrinkage reducing admixtures. Saving costs not only from these materials but also expensive labour to apply them. Not to mention about the ease of finish and ease of pumping accelerating the entire operation, again saving valuable manhour and project time. Contact me if you need to know more about it.

SUCCESS CASE Rúbrica Engineering proposed an alternative method for the placement of prefabricated half-arches. With this method, two half-arches are unloaded by mobile crane on top of the transfer bed. Later both pieces are tranfered and installed by the gantry in final position. Meanwhile the mobile crane prepares another pair of semi-arches. This process synchronization significantly shortens time of installation eliminating waiting times.

Building Smarter with Megaacrete: Lightweight, durable, and disaster-resilient solutions for modern construction. Mexican builders have innovated a modular construction system resembling a 3D puzzle, using aerated concrete blocks for improved structural efficiency. These blocks feature pre-designed holes where steel reinforcement is inserted, enhancing structural integrity. Concrete is then poured into the voids to create a solid, reinforced framework. This method combines the lightweight properties of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) with the durability of reinforced concrete, ensuring resilience against seismic and wind forces. The interlocking design allows for quicker assembly, reduced labor costs, and energy-efficient insulation. This system is particularly suited for sustainable and disaster-resilient construction projects Video rights : Megaacrete #aac #brickwork #engineering #civilengineering #construction #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheiro #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil

Thread: Let's talk #prestressedconcrete! Today's focus: the #Freyssinet system This post-tensioning method uses high-strength steel wires grouped in a cable with a special spring for tensioning. ️ Advantages: Efficient: utilizes concrete & steel effectively, leading to slimmer designs Longer spans: perfect for bridges & large structures Crack control: reduces cracking under load for a durable structure Disadvantages: Uniformity challenge: tensioning all wires at once can lead to slight variations Jack limitations: jacks can be heavy & expensive, limiting force application Precast preference: typically used in precast elements due to anchorage requirements Overall, Freyssinet is a great system for specific projects. Know when to use it for optimal design! #civilengineering #construction #engineering
