Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

At Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK Leipzig), research and development focus on multifunctional components made of carbon concrete for residential and industrial construction. To this end, completely new manufacturing processes for the construction industry of the future are investigated. The automated production steps developed are tested in the specially built research production plant, the Carbon Concrete Technical Center of the HTWK Leipzig. Within the joint project "WallConnEct - Development of resource-efficient wall construction systems with integrated electrical and data technology based on ASi", funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, it has been investigated over the past three years how resource-saving installation methods based on the latest industrial automation technology can be applied to buildings. The aim was to develop a cost-effective, future-oriented cable installation method geared towards sustainability and resource conservation, which would enable automated installation in the precast plant.
