Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

On 14th December 2004, the Federal Ministry for Economics and Labour awarded the 2004 German Material Efficiency Prize in the Construction Materials section to Forster Bau GmbH. The occasion for this honour, which had already led to the Bavarian State Prize and the Professor Adalbert Seifriz Prize being awarded in the same year for the successful transfer of tech-nology between science and trade, was the deve-lopment of an innovative construction method using precast concrete elements for the radiation protection of buildings with radioactive sources.
