Structural Lightweight Concrete: A Game-Changer for Longevity and Sustainability in Bridge Deck Repairs

Civil + Structural Engineer

Yet, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) 2021 Infrastructure Report Card, 42 percent of all bridges in the United States are at least 50 years old, out of which, about 4600 of them are considered structurally deficient. Structural lightweight concrete (SLC) sidelines these issues. What is ESCS?

A Case (Study) for Off-Site Construction in Home Building

The Pro Builder

Off-site or industrialized construction methods potentially offer multiple advantages beyond a quieter jobsite and provide a path to build single-family homes much faster with a good framing crew. The bulk of the cost savings from Agorus’ method come from fewer days to build and the cost of labor required.
