At the recent Latvian Concrete Association (LCA) 31st scientific technical conference, which brought together industry professionals, scientists, and students, several important issues concerning the use and sustainability of concrete and reinforced concrete in construction were discussed.
"This conference is an excellent platform for knowledge and experience exchange, promoting industry development and innovation implementation in practice," said a conference participant.
Concrete Sustainability and Innovations
The conference was rich with presentations that revealed the latest trends in concrete technology and research. For example, concrete frost resistance issues, concrete olympiad, and many other topics relevant both in Latvia and internationally were examined.
Concrete Frost Resistance and LVS 156-1:2022
Concrete frost resistance and changes to the LVS 156-1:2022 standard were one of the central discussion topics. The transition period to the new standard version and further work in the standards field for 2024-2025 were outlined in detail to ensure the industry is prepared for new requirements.
Sustainable construction and the future of concrete
The conference emphasized the importance of sustainable construction and concrete's role in it. Discussions focused on technologies and methods that can promote efficient resource use, reduce construction waste, and improve building energy efficiency.
The 31st Latvian Concrete Association scientific conference once again proved that the concrete industry is in dynamic development, seeking and implementing innovative solutions that meet modern society's needs and sustainability goals.
The Kilen Baltic team considers this to have been a very valuable conference. You can read more about the conference on the Latvian Concrete Association website, where all presentations are also available.
