  1. SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS IN CONCRETE INDUSTRY GSAS Sponsored Seminar / Workshop SUSTAINABILITY – THE WAY FORWARD IN CONCRETE INDUSTRY Dr. Huiqing He, Director - Sustainability Qatar National Convention Centre, Doha – Qatar 24th May 2014

  2. Contents • Concrete Basics for Sustainability • Regional Sustainability Rating Systems • Sustainable Solutions • Concrete Life-Cycle Perspective Operations • Green Projects Highlights • Knowledge Sharing • Sustainability Appreciation

  3. Sustainability Development

  4. Why Concrete ? • Concrete is the world’s most used construction materials: > 10 billion m3 /year worldwide > 10 M m3 /2014 (Qatar) • Concrete has a huge impact on green built because of its sheer volume and the massive resources used to make it. • The intelligent use of concrete makes a significant contribution to sustainable development.

  5. Why Concrete ? Concrete Basics for Sustainability 1. Durable 2.Use recycled materials 3.Can be recycled and reused 4.Less energy required to produce 5.Locally manufactured 6. Reduce energy required for heating and cooling through thermal mass 7. Low VOC emission 8. Light in color 9. Used directly as finished surface 10. Formable

  6. Sustainability Initiatives Regional Sustainability Initiatives and Assessment Systems

  7. Sustainability Assessment System

  8. Sustainability Assessment System

  9. Sustainability Assessment System

  10. Materials and Resources (GSAS / ESTIDAMA / LEED / NRMCA)

  11. Sustainability System: Mitigation of Environmental Impact throughGreen Building Practice (GSAS/ESTIDAMA/LEED/NRMCA)

  12. Sustainable Concrete Solutions • Sustainable Concrete Practice through implementing the Life Cycle Perspectives OperationstoLower Overall Footprint

  13. GSAS – Materials

  14. WHAT A CONCRETE PRODUCER CAN DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINABILITY DEVELOPMENT

  15. GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS Process • Life-Cycle Perspective Operations Green Products • Low Carbon Emission Products • Self Compacting Concrete • High Strength Concrete • Durable Concrete • Pervious Concrete • Architectural Concrete Service • Value-Engineering Innovative Green Technology • IBB Workability Probe Sustainability Awareness

  16. Material Acquisition / Production

  17. Delivery, Construction / Product Use

  18. Reduce, Recycle and Reuse

  19. Strategies for Reducing Carbon Footprints • Process (LCA) - Material transportation analysis - Process emission analysis - Primary energy analysis - Waste recycling and reuse • Concrete Products - Low carbon emission products - Eco-friendly construction methods • Project Requirement - LEED/Estidama/GSAS/NRMCA - Compliance to the requirements • Innovative Green Technique - IBB workability probe - Waste and emmision reduction • Knowledge Sharing - Internal & external training - Community

  20. NRMCA Gold Certification onSustainable Concrete Plant

  21. Green Concrete Options • Highly optimized mix design • Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag • Pulverized fly ash. (PFA) • Effective admixture use • Cement free concrete • Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) • Low cost construction • Portland limestone cement • Rice husk ash cement • Rice husk cement • Concrete wood

  22. Green Concrete Options – By Recycling Materials?

  23. GGBFS Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag PFA Pulverized Fly Ash

  24. IBB Workability ProbeGreen Technology

  25. IBB Workability Probe – Green Technology • IBB PROBE is designed to measure fresh concrete properties with-in the ready-mix drum automatically without sampling. • It can continuously monitor concrete, Slump, Temperature, Viscosity, Drum Speed and Concrete Volume in real time without human influence. • It can be connected to a GPS and Communication system for real time integrated quality control. • It is a green technology, which can reduce concrete waste, save and power and shorten the concrete supply time.
