    Is BIM the Future for Concrete Construction?

    Despite all of the hype, contractors aren't adopting building information modeling as quickly as you'd think. Here's why they aren't and what BIM holds for the future of the industry.

     
  • In some instances, replacement may prove to be the better option for an older structure with a few years left before the life cycle of the structure ends. In all cases, it is prudent to bring in an engineer for a structural and life cycle evaluation. If the damage is not disruptive to the entire structure, it often is best to repair. Here, crack injection is applied to a large bridge column in Galveston, Texas.

    Life Cycle Costs

    Learn when to repair and when to replace structural concrete to avoid lasting maintenance bills.

     
  • HEPA filter industrial vacuum cleaners often are preferred because they collect and retain silica dust without dispersing it back into the environment.
