CEMEX's clever range of concrete solutions

April 21, 2015
CEMEX is using World of Concrete Europe 2015 to show off a clever range of solutions that include permeable concrete with water flowing through it, lightweight concrete that floats on air, insulating concrete over flames and a highly flexible concrete that uses steel fibres rather than rebar.

  • Energy absorbing safety barrier
    March 9, 2012
    Barrier Systems says that its new tensioned barrier offers high energy absorbing capabilities in head-on collisions. The company says that this is because the X-Tension technology is a tension-based solution rather than compression-based. The new range delivers good performance in these applications, as energy is absorbed with resistance at the impact head rather than being transferred down the rail as occurs with other systems. Even high-angle (15° during testing) impacts on the nose resulted in the vehicl

    Benninghoven’s Ralf Port talks about the German firm’s development with partner BAM of its counter flow parallel drum system for RAP material The asphalt industry constantly searches for new solutions in order to optimise processes within the asphalt plant. A major subject is the increase of RAP content in all recipes. Recycling Parallel Drum Systems work in various sizes and at various power levels. This technique has been established by different producers over the decades. However, all kinds of concepts

    Highway construction in the vast and varied Australasian landscape can be fraught with difficulties. Distance, extreme weather conditions and topographical challenges can all play a part in creating significant obstacles for design engineers. BarrierGuard 800, a state-of-the-art lightweight steel road safety barrier, is said to be proving invaluable in two ongoing projects setting new benchmarks for their respective regions. The US$895.7 million (AUS$1 billion) Gateway WA Perth Airport and Freight Acces
