Sustainability Development

Sustainable Solutions in Concrete Industry 4

• Concrete is the world’s most used construction materials: > 10 billion m3 /year worldwide

> 10 M m3 /2014 (Qatar)• Concrete has a huge impact

on green built because of its sheer volume and the massive resources used to make it.

• The intelligent use of concrete makes a significant contribution to sustainable development.

Why Concrete ?

Sustainable Solutions in Concrete Industry 5

Concrete Basics for Sustainability

1. Durable

2. Use recycled materials

3. Can be recycled and reused

4. Less energy required to produce

5. Locally manufactured

6. Reduce energy required for heating and

cooling through thermal mass

7. Low VOC emission

8. Light in color

9. Used directly as finished surface

10. Formable

IBB Workability ProbeGreen Technology

Sustainable Solutions in Concrete Industry 26

IBB PROBE is designed to measure fresh concrete properties with-in the ready-mix drum automatically without sampling.

It can continuously monitor concrete, Slump, Temperature, Viscosity, Drum Speed and Concrete Volume in real time without human influence.

It can be connected to a GPS and Communication system for real time integrated quality control.

It is a green technology, which can reduce concrete waste, save and power and shorten the concrete supply time.
