Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

This new product development of Weckenmann Anlagentechnik allows the production of flat precast concrete parts in the immediate vicinity of the construction site. The challenges of the 21st century include rapid population growth and increasing urbanization worldwide. This requires to build more and more large residential complexes even faster. Large construction sites for the construction of new residential areas or entire cities are temporary and generally do not allow that conventional stationary precast concrete plants are set up in the immediate vicinity of the construction site. Central precast plants often have the problem that the transport routes are too long and therefore they are too uneconomical. In addition, long transport routes carry bigger risks, the goods may be damaged or traffic problems may lead to delays in delivery. Some countries also do not have the therefore necessary infrastructure and transport capacities. In addition to that, stationary concrete plants require large investments and quite frequently, their realization fails due to lack of financial means.
