Cost Comparison of Lightweight Concrete "When considering the design of a proposed structure, will you pay a premium for utilizing lightweight concrete? While it is true that lightweight concrete typically costs more on a per cubic yard basis than normal weight concrete, it can provide a more economical solution to a mid- or high-rise building. In fact, the cost per square foot of the lightweight concrete floor slab is often less than normal weight concrete due to the reduced thickness. When the cost of the entire structure is considered, including framing, foundations, excavation and transportation, the economic benefits of lightweight concrete can be readily seen." #lightweight #concrete

A cement boom truck, also known as a concrete boom pump truck, is a specialized construction vehicle that combines a concrete pump with a long, articulated arm (boom) mounted on a truck chassis. This design allows the concrete to be pumped directly to the pouring location, even over obstacles or at significant heights. The boom can extend a great distance, allowing concrete to be placed in hard-to-reach areas, such as high floors, bridge decks, and behind walls. The boom can be precisely positioned to place concrete exactly where it is needed.

Joints are necessary to create a strong, sound concrete floor,but once the building is in use they are at risk of damage. Damage is caused when vehicles cross the joint at 90 degrees ( called directional traffic) A straight joint in the floor takes the full impact of the vehicle as the wheels jolt across. Once damage happens , it will just get worse until the joint is repaired. Permaban Signature AR is an arris ‘repair and upgrade’ system for damaged construction joints in concrete floors.
