Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Providing the aesthetic quality is not impaired, using the new alongside the old is perfectly acceptable for the 'restoration' of monuments. Although the new ground concrete bridge for the Grosskmehlen moated castle near Dresden has been made with a historical form, it has been built using the latest concrete technology and can be clearly recognised as a modern structure next to the historical building. And so there is harmony between structures separated by centuries – a 450 year old moated castle and the latest concrete technology. The colour of the bridge is achieved by the special pale cement Optacolor from Lafarge.
