Concrete

Concrete is the most used construction material in the world

Are you planning to build a building, bridge, perhaps a road or sidewalk, parking lot?

Concrete is one of the most important construction materials used in various construction projects, from residential buildings to large infrastructure projects. It is composed of a mixture of cement, water, sand, and aggregates such as gravel or crushed stone. Concrete is valued for its high compressive strength, durability, and versatility, as it can be shaped into various forms and sizes. Additionally, concrete is resistant to fire and weather, making it ideal for use in different climate conditions.

With proper maintenance, concrete structures can last for decades, contributing to the long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of construction projects.

Concrete structures built in the past prove that concrete provides durable and sustainable solutions for your planned projects. Concrete allows the creation of architecturally demanding projects with high aesthetic impact and excellent mechanical, chemical, and fire-resistant properties.

Sustainability of Concrete

Build to Last, Build with Concrete

Why Concrete?

Because it is durable, long-lasting, low-maintenance, and beautiful.

The Romans were already building with concrete, so why wouldn't we continue using it today?

To this day, we have not found a construction material that can provide comparable lasting properties like concrete. With a bit of skill and a lot of knowledge, we can build the most complex structures with concrete, featuring various surface morphologies, colors, and more...

Visually, it can come in different colors, patterns, textures, with imprinted symbols or reliefs. When properly prepared, it is resistant to salt, water, and chemicals, and has excellent properties in case of fire or other natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods…).

Considering the long life cycle and beneficial properties of concrete, it is one of the safest, most energy-efficient, and durable materials available for constructing various types of buildings.

At a time when sustainable construction is crucial, concrete can meet all sustainability requirements.

Numerous Green/Sustainable Benefits of Concrete

How is sustainability defined?

One definition of sustainability is: "Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Sustainable construction seeks to balance environmental responsibility, efficient use of resources, comfort and well-being of occupants, and community sensitivity.
