Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The possibilities to create diverse and sustainable urban environments are in a compendious manner emphasized. Concrete, being the most used material in developing cities, both for residential areas and infrastructure, is especially challenged with these needs. Requirements to scheme visually varied environments while integrating them into their surroundings and to evaluate the details with lifetime value principles challenge the industry to identify aspects helping to meet these qualifications. Innovations can give industries possibilities to serve customers with new choices for creating habitability and identity for the built environment together considering environmental requirements. For the manufacture of precast concrete elements with new visuality the very latest technology is developed by the Finnish company Formconcrete Ltd. It is a new, patented method to produce series of precast concrete elements with three-dimensional surface forms.
