New AI to Reduce 20% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Concrete Industry

April 20, 2021

Concrete Industry Can Make a Greener Product Using Giatec®’s New SmartMix™ Artificial Intelligence Program On the verge of a global summit aimed at reducing Greenhouse Gases (GHG), Giatec®, a leading innovator for building more sustainable concrete, announced a strategy based on a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool to cut at least 400 million tons annually of GHG emissions, the equivalent of taking 110 million cars off the road. Every year, 20 billion tons (10 billion cubic yards) of concrete is produced globally, making it the number one product created by humans. This translates to approximately 2 billion tons of GHG emissions. Giatec believes its strategy can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 20% by getting the very conservative construction industry to accept new ways to design concrete mixes. After 3 years and well over $3 million in research efforts, Giatec…

How Will COVID-19 Change the Construction Industry in 2021: We Will See Increasing Use of Tech Onsite and Online Learning, and a Bonus Prediction

Dobrila Moogk January 26, 2021

The global pandemic that hit our North American shores early in 2020 has brought profound change to how we work, live, and operate in the construction industry. Many companies weathered the storm, and those that did it the best relied on their resiliency to not only adapt to the changing environment, but also to take advantage of the unfavorable conditions in such a way as to place themselves ahead of the pack, and gain a better starting point in the race to recovery. What is it that companies can do to position themselves for a more successful 2021 and beyond? Before we jump to that, let us take the lay of the land. With the first wave of COVID-19 sweeping through North America starting in March last year, we saw a few jurisdictions designating construction a nonessential service and jobsites being shut down. While there was an easing of the impact of…

From Conferences to Construction Sites in the COVID-19 Times: How Prepared Are You?

Dobrila Moogk March 19, 2020

If you are in the concrete industry, conferences such as World of Concrete (WOC), ConExpo, and American Concrete Institute’s ACI Concrete Convention make for important dates in your calendar. They certainly are in ours. The lights and splendor of the Las Vegas WOC 2020 (held February 3-7) etched great memories of Giatec’s bustling booth, buzz around the customer and partner appreciation dinners, and talks with current and future distribution partners. But, we could see hints of what was to come even then and there. You may remember noticing several empty booths, seeing fewer visitors from Asia, and hearing that it was due to the novel coronavirus that reared its ugly head some weeks before. Then came ConExpo (held also in Las Vegas, March 10-14, 2020) just this past week, that saw touch-and-go changes to its programming that resulted in finishing…
