Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The building of new settlements and traffic areas in urban and rural spaces takes up approximately 80 hectares per day in Germany. The trend in construction is headed upward, both nationally and internationally (cf. Bundesverband Boden e.V. [Federal Soil Association]). This opens up numerous possibilities for their design. The trend is toward the development of new blocks with individual formats and designs manufactured from concrete. This presents concrete block manufacturing companies with the task of developing innovative and functional products. Along with the concrete mix design and machine settings, the manufacturing process revolves around the concrete block mold as the decisive tool.
