Sustainable building practices are the reality of future construction. If you are not adopting sustainable practices, prioritising the principles of the circular economy and advancing on your sustainability journey, you are being left behind.  But what is a truly...

What is ‘Mass Concrete’?Why Is It Important to Monitor Mass Concrete Temperature?How Do Temperature Differentials Affect Mass Concrete?What’s the Best Way to Monitor Temperature Differentials?Why Are Temperature Differentials in Mass Concrete So Important in...

  The BluCem ZeoGlass formulation includes the use of two, non-traditional concrete materials; Calcium and silica. These supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) not only reduce our environmental impact, but the SCMs also improve the durability of the...

  In 2015, alongside 195 other countries, Australia agreed on the United Nations Paris agreement on climate change. This agreement is to limit emissions globally by 2050, known as the Net Zero initiative. Working together towards reducing the amount of carbon...

  We’ve already highlighted the benefits of using our Giatec SmartRock sensors for maturity testing early age concrete strength, but what about high early strength grout? From improved construction safety to cost and construction timeline saving, the SmartRock...

  With so many different materials being used these days for building purposes, users are becoming increasingly aware of how important it is to prepare the materials correctly. A decision as simple as the wrong choice of mixing paddle can result in a failure to...

  Mixing jobs are a big part of the daily work on construction sites and improperly mixed concrete can create unacceptable or substandard results. This often leads to construction damages and/or additional costs. It’s the right mixture that matters. The question...

 Hot weather concreting is a risk. The combination of high temperatures, wind and low humidity create an unfavourable environment for proper curing. By placing concrete in the heat you run the risk of cracking, crazing, surface crusting and lower 28-day strengths....

  Maintaining a sterile environment is imperative in areas such as hospitals, aged-care and childcare facilities. We focus on keeping exposed surfaces clean; however, we don’t often consider what is happening below flooring coverings and within the concrete...

Here is an article from our distribution partner Giatec on relative humidity for use with the BlueRock sensors.  Relative humidity (RH) is often mistaken for moisture; however, these are two completely separate terms. Moisture content represents the amount of water in...
