| Building for the future A Smart Dynamic Concrete deminar was organized in Abu Dhabi on the 7th of May, as a joint effort by BASF Construction Chemicals, Readymix Abu Dhabi & Aldar Readymix. The deminar was attended by 25 people and addressed an approach for a new generation of highly fluid concretes. Says Cameron Bellman, General Sales Manager for the BASF Construction Chemicals Middle East, “Constantly changing construction techniques create new challenges for construction chemicals. Current challenges within the industry include the need for energy efficiency, higher concrete durability requiring perfect covering of reinforcement and an increasing demand for higher fluid concretes to save time and money. BASF’s construction chemicals division has introduced its Smart Dynamic Construction concept, which allows the ready-mixed concrete industry to reach these goals. Notes David Bowerman, Regional Manager for admixture systems, “The SDC concept provides a technology to simplify the production and control of a dynamic concrete, which adds economical, ecological and ergonomic values. It creates a new concrete generation which combines the benefits of traditionally vibrated concrete with those of self compacting concrete, is easy to produce and robust in everyday use.” The next deminars are scheduled for Sunday the 17th and 28th May.
