Cement emissions are a problem that can only be solved at the megaton scale. Here's our latest exponential scale jump - the cubic yard scale!

As they say "when there's a will, there's a way". A client required two of these 80 tonne blocks of CAST STEEL (just steel, no concrete) to be cut in half for removal. Each of the blocks measured 3.6m x 3.6m x 1.5m and weight 80,000kgs. We won't lie and say it all went smoothly and as per the original plan. There were problems that nobody could of planned or prepared for, but we managed to overcome them, find a solution and just get it done. Jobs and situations like these are what separate 'concrete cutters' and the 'professional concrete sawing and drilling companies' apart.

Pour it on! Is it just us, or could you watch this footage on loop all day? Like the Sublime Systems team, we never thought we’d be so excited to watch cement pour out of a truck. Yet here we are, marveling at 4 years of thoughtful R&D and engineering to achieve low-carbon cement, designed to be a form-fit-function replacement for today’s CO2-intensive ordinary cement (~8% of global CO2). Sublime Cement™ is strong, durable, and concrete truck-worthy. Know that while you lower carbon emissions with Sublime Cement™, take comfort knowing you won’t lose quality so you can #keepbuilding.

The deployment of our Net Zero strategy will depend on a number of variables. Specifically; emerging AI technology and the economic viability of other improvement opportunities.  One such technology is a aM&T sub-metering system that captures energy consumption information automatically from which Creagh Concrete can gain a better understanding of our energy use.

Remember that perfect platform I posted last week? Well the Roger Bullivant Limited piling rig has landed and piles are going in for this single large plot in the Berkshire countryside. Site setup is spot on, and this one has been well organised. Just as we get excited about huge sites, the small jobs are set up and managed just the same. Looking forward to seeing the precast caps & beams go on! Massive thanks to Marbus Developments for their teamwork on this. #piling #pilingrig #precast #precastpiles #drivenpiling #piledriving #pilefoundation #pile #piles #piledfoundation #geotechnicalengineering #geotechnics #geotechnical #civilengineering #civils #groundengineering #structuralengineering #structuraldesign #structural #countryside #housebuilding #housebuilders #housebuilder

In the debate of single drum rollers vs. double drum rollers, the choice ultimately depends on the unique requirements of your construction project. Assess the project scale, soil conditions, and desired surface finish to make an informed decision. Both types of rollers have their strengths, and selecting the right one will contribute significantly to the success of your construction endeavors.

What most companies don’t realize is that you are already paying for an #engcon if you don’t own one. Most operators realize the ROI after 16 months or less with labor savings. This is the future of digging. Don’t be left behind.
