New concrete products: Our research aims to provide more sophisticated concrete products designed to meet the exact needs of our clients, reducing the use of non-renewable resources and minimizing the environmental impact of construction projects. There are numerous examples of this approach such as the successful use of previous concrete and self-compacting concrete in the RMX plants of TITAN America, which produce concrete with increased water permeability and concrete that reduces labor requirements and eliminates the need for vibration. In the Greek Ready Mix plants lightweight screeds with high air content are used in place of denser mortars that require a larger quantity of raw materials. Other research projects aiming to replace aggregates from quarries with by-products of other industrial processes are also under way.
