An Award Winning Modular Living Concept
Imagine the possibility of designing an entire community including houses, retail units, schools, offices and hotels that is all created in a factory and delivered module by module by flatbed truck to prepared foundations with utilities installed.
Developments on Cold Recycling with Foamed Bitumen
Resource-saving technologies are more in demand than ever before. They do not necessarily have to be revolutionary.
Most times, they can be a simple adaptation of a proven system. One such examples is the Wirtgen cold recycling process that has been proving its credentials for many years – and already meets the demands of tomorrow.
Advancing technology means that it is also constantly evolving. As such, it is worth revisiting to see just what the system can deliver.
Innovative Solution to Water & Waste Handling
Modular concepts are being seen more and more within the construction industry. Such techniques are being used for entire structures as well as structural components.
Precast concrete has led the way in providing contractors with an alternative to in-situ construction which can be more difficult, require heavy equipment and take longer.
Preparing For The Uncontrollable
Nature is unpredictable, but what are the latest developments in enabling better preparation?
Increasing episodes of extreme weather and severe earthquakes, with the devastating effects they have on communities and infrastructures, are challenging Governments, Authorities, Engineers and Contractors to strengthen existing defences and search for better ways to prepare for such situations.
Technology is enabling better preparation and response to such events.

Flat Roof Restored Efficiently
Temple Quay in Bristol, UK, a large multi-tenant commercial building, has recently undergone flat roof refurbishment using Pitchmastic’s Roofshield PmB waterproofing system.
The existing roof had been the source of several leaks, therefore, a long term solution was needed that allowed all the plant and equipment plinths on the roofs and walkways to be encapsulated in order to stem the leaks.
