In 1971, the One Shell Plaza pierced the Texas skyline, breaking the city record for the tallest building. This 52-storey building broke another record as the worlds tallest building made of lightweight concrete. Check out our blog to learn all about what makes lightweight concrete different, and how it compares to normal concrete: https://hubs.ly/H0vQgl80 #construction #concrete #innovation
Today is Giatec's 10th Anniversary! Back in September of 2010, Pouria Ghods and Aali R. Alizadeh co-founded Giatec Scientific Inc. They began their work with the help of advisors at Invest Ottawa in a small incubator space. Through a lot of research, the company's first product, RCON, was created: a non-destructive lab device for measuring bulk electrical resistivity of concrete. Since then the list of award-winning products has grown to include our leading wireless concrete... sensor, SmartRock. Over the years, we have partnered with several incredible companies to bring our smart IoT-based solutions to the construction industry. These companies include: PCL, Aecom, Kiewit, Skanska, and many others. Today, we have 50 dedicated employees, our products are available in over 85 countries, and our SmartRock sensors have been used in over 6,000 jobsites. Thank you to all of our customers, partners, dealers, and employees for your continued support. We are looking forward to continuing to revolutionize the concrete industry with each of you! #concrete #construction

A concrete mix is a combination of five major elements in various proportions: cement, water, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates (i.e. sand), and air. When designing a mix, you should always consider the desired strength, durability, and workability of the concrete for the project in question. For a quick, easy, and free way to create a mix design, click here: https://hubs.ly/H0tRh4H0
When choosing a method for monitoring the compressive strength of concrete, its important for project managers to consider the impact each technique will have on their schedule, the accuracy of the method, how difficult it is, and the overall cost.
