8 Tips For Concrete Solutions For Sustainable Construction

Herearesomewaysthatconcreteis integratedintomoreeco-friendlypractices:

Permeable Concrete Pavement

It is formed from a combination of cement, coarse particles, and water, just like traditional concrete.

Fly Ash Concrete

Fly ash is a fine-grey powder that is a byproduct of coal-fired power plants and is usually made up of spherical, glassy particles

Green Roofs and Living Walls

Green roofs present an environmental advantage by decreasing stormwater runoff, assisting buildings in maintaining a consistent internal temperature

Rainwater Harvesting and Reuse

Urbanization’s negative environmental effects on receiving water bodies can also be mitigated by rain and stormwater collection.

Recycled Concrete Aggregate

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) often refers to concrete that’s left over from demolition and construction debris.

Low-Carbon Cement

Industrial cement is blended with mineral substances like calcined clays, fly ash, or blast-furnace slag to create lowcarbon concrete

Energy-Efficient Concrete Mix Designs

The concrete mixture, the type of mixer, the batch size, and the loading technique all affect how much energy is needed for the mixing operation

Carbon Capture and Storage

CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) is a potent instrument for the mitigation of carbon gases in the environment since it allows industry to continue operating while producing fewer greenhouse gases (CHGs)
