Our new advanced crushing system in France is a game-changer in circular construction. With this proprietary processing technology, Holcim can upcycle 100% of construction demolition materials (CDM) into new building solutions, from aggregates and sand to decarbonized cement paste. With this advanced circular system we aim to scale up our ECOCyle solutions, to lower the CO2 footprint of new building solutions while closing the material loop to save virgin resources.

In most parts of the world, when concrete left over from construction and demolition activities is reused, the vast majority of it ends up in various road applications. We are working to go beyond using recycled concrete in road applications to capture the decarbonization potential of upcycled materials.

Holcim is committed to driving circular construction by becoming the global leader in innovative and sustainable building solutions. The new advanced crushing and processing system at our Saint-Laurent-de-Mure recycling installation in France is one of the first of its kind in the world, and is expanding the use of CDM by fully upcycling them into new building products and solutions.

By upcycling construction demolition materials and reintroducing them into the cement and concrete manufacturing chain, Holcim increases the value of demolition materials and closes the material loop in a truly circular way, building tomorrow's cities with the materials of yesterday.

Holcim is a global leader in innovative and sustainable building solutions with net sales of CHF 27.0 billion in 2023. Driven by our purpose to build progress for people and the planet, our 63,448 employees are on a mission to decarbonize building, while improving living standards for all. We empower our customers across all regions to build better with less, with a broad range of low-carbon and circular solutions, from ECOPact and ECOPlanet to our circular technology platform ECOCycle. Through innovative systems, from Elevate roofing to PRB insulation, Holcim makes buildings more sustainable in use, driving energy efficiency and green retrofitting. With sustainability at the core of our strategy, we are on the way to becoming a net-zero company with 1.5C targets validated by SBTi.

The Role of Facilities Managers in Active Shooter Scenarios [BOM Playbook] FM Retrospective and Future Forecast Inside Grounds Crew Operations for the Milwaukee Brewers ESG: The Facility Manager's Role

ACT leverages fully concrete exterior and interior walls that are erected first and then fully equipped with plumbing and electricity kits, which enables crews to produce hundreds of units in about 76 percent of the total construction time, saving an average of 30 percent of the construction costs per project. ACT is suited for use in a wide variety of applications. However, it is most optimally suited for largescale multifamily housing and hotels, where layout flexibility over time is neither required nor expected by potential future buyers.

Buildings built by this system are also hurricane-resistant, since they are all concrete, as well as mildew-resistant. They contain no sheet rock and are not subject to roof leaks, since the roofs are made of pure, tilted concrete. They are also safe from termites, since no wood is used.

However, ACT is increasingly relevant nationwide as construction costs continue to climb steadily due to population growth and increased demand. Case in point: In 2018 alone, construction pricing increased 5.07 percent. A labor shortage and material costs are the main culprits of rising pricing.

ACT empowers contractors to cast walls and slabs in one operation, in a daily cycle. As a result, the speed, quality and accuracy benefits of off-site, factory production are seamlessly combined with the flexibility and economy of on-site construction.

The method provides a concrete structure, the surfaces of which are sufficiently high-quality to require only minimal finishing, as desired, while the end walls and facades are easily completed with thermally insulated units that can be appointed as desired.

ACT is currently being used to complete the Modern Towers project south of Miami, a modern multifamily development consisting of 665 units. Modern Towers is a contemporary mixed-use development with a commercial area. It includes a club house for the community and an onsite covered parking garage. This $150 million project is expected to be complete within nine months.

The lack of affordable housing across the country is a serious issue in the United States that continues to worsen as renters are increasingly pushed out of their homes due to rising real estate prices and short-term vacation rentals. This shortage has most deeply affected Americans who qualify as low-income.

Nationally, there is a shortage of 7 million homes that are affordable and available to the lowest-income Americans, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. For every 10 of the lowest-income people, there are fewer than 4 homes that are affordable and available to them.

In addition to providing more affordable housing, the ACT technology behind the project will provide a much-needed solution to the construction delays, high labor costs, and budget overrides often associated with large multi-family construction projects.

This production model also boasts an industrialized mass production system to help standardize the building process and increase productivity as well as the speed of completion, and is easily adaptable to the varying demands of each project.

Michael Praul, senior concrete engineer with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), gave a presentation during a lunch and learn event at the Brown-Kopel Center about the past, present and future of concrete technology. Then, students, faculty and industry professionals traveled to the Advanced Structural Engineering Laboratory to see what the Mobile Concrete Technology Center (MCTC) could offer.

The MCTC has state-of-the-art concrete technology in materials selection, mixture design, field and laboratory testing and pavement evaluation. The center makes several visits throughout the country to display this technology, usually to various state department of transportation sites working on projects requiring specialized equipment.

Concrete is the major structural material used in submerged floating tunnels, thus its properties dictate the overall performance of the tunnel system. Concrete structures used in submerged floating tunnels are typically exposed to marine environments, where these structures are consistently in contact with seawater and susceptible to ingress of harmful ions such as chloride, sulfate, and carbonate ions. This talk will introduce the recent progresses of concrete materials engineering technology being developed for use in submerged floating tunnel systems. In particular, the concrete technology being investigated at the Research Center for Smart Submerged Floating Tunnel Systems at KAIST will be discussed.

Over the years, concrete technology has shown some tremendous improvement to ensure less premature deterioration of structures made of concrete. This could sometimes lead to catastrophic endings. Without the improvement and advancement of technology, the concrete deterioration prematurely will continue to create a colossal of weak. It is likely to fail ageing concrete structures. Therefore, Zoe offers advanced concrete technology techniques to improve and even, in some cases, exceed the expected service life of concrete structures using modern technology. The concrete structure created using advanced technology should withstand harsh environmental conditions while at the same time reducing the maintenance and repair costs. To achieve this, a solid understanding of various utilisation of technology and how it interacts with concrete to build structures that withstand harsh conditions.

The popularity of concrete across the globe makes it an element of interest in the building industry. To improve its properties, there have been advancements in technologies in the material science field to give new improved mixtures and materials that dramatically improve quality and reliability when mixed with concrete. When mishandled, these materials can have more negative impacts than benefit and, therefore, requires this training to get a better understanding of how these materials can be used effectively.

This course will give deep knowledge and skills required to use concrete technology in building durable and sustainable structures. Detailed considerations have been given to chemical mixtures, mineral addition, workability and strength enhancement of concrete, and maintaining the durability of concrete. It will also guide the decision-making process when choosing the right concrete products, procedures, and test methods.

This Zoe course will be delivered by professionals with vast experience both in teaching and their area of expertise. Different methods will be used, such as notes, lectures, presentations, and short videos. Case studies and exercises will also be used when there is a need. An effective and well-designed method of teaching developed by Zoe Talent for high retention will also be used.
