Thanks to the current White House resident, the US construction industry is rolling through a perfect storm of construction material price spikes that some might think is an intentional assault on what would otherwise be a thriving economic sector. Already depressed by the government overreach that culminated in the Covid 19 industry shutdowns of […]
In a previous article Resource Erectors highlighted Elon Musk’s $100 million and $20 million XPRIZEs as motivation for the development of innovative CO2 capturing technology. The winning projects involved a coal-fired power plant and an LNG facility, where CO2 was captured at the stacks and injected to make concrete with higher compressive strength. While […]
An April 2021 Associated Press report posted at Power Engineering announced the latest first prize winners of Elon Musk’s $20 million XPRIZE. $15 million (with the other $5 million going to promising runners up) was split between two of the most unlikely candidates (from the green-minded environmentalist point of view); a coal-fired power plant […]
There’s no getting away from the powerful influence on industries of the politically driven rush to replace fossil fuel, coal, and other traditional “carbon-emitting” energy sources with an “all-electric” power grid. After decades under the legislative green thumb of what many are now recognizing as nothing less than “radical environmentalism”, the global general public […]
Industries in sectors ranging from minerals processing and rare earth metals, to concrete and aggregates, to gypsum materials are all initiating or following through in 2021 on strategic moves to cash in on sustainability trends. These tactics are being deployed to overcome the significant 2020 declines triggered by rampant covid 19 shutdowns. We’ve reported […]
When the world places an order the mining industry delivers. But will the radical, regulatory, environmental left get out of its own way when it comes to expanded mining operations for complex green technology support? Amazon is making quite a big deal out of their order for 100,000 Rivian electric delivery trucks . Their […]
Tesla’s Elon Musk is running up against some stiff potential competition in the battery vs. hydrogen fuel cell battle. Australian mining magnate and billionaire Andrew Forrest is taking on Tesla Inc. and CEO Elon Musk in his quest to promote “greener than batteries” hydrogen fuel cells as the next game-changer in the clean-energy scramble, […]
There’s a hot “new” battery metal in the mining industry’s Electric Vehicle support race. It’s an anode-grade, all-natural-flake graphite that can match or surpass the life cycles of its synthetic graphite competitors, all while increasing energy kWh capacity, at a much lower cost. In this article, the industry watchers at Resource Erectors take a […]
“Simply put, there’s probably no other supply chain that is in more dire need of transformation than the construction industry supply chain.”- Adrian Gonzalez-talkinglogistics.com Is Today’s Construction Industry Supply Chain Ready to Sustain $79 Trillion in Infrastructure Spending? According to Steve Cox, VP of Business Development at Command Alkon, “In a study by the […]
The February 10th 2020 article at Civil and Structural Engineering Mag caught our attention with this bottom line justification for advanced office-to-field remote asphalt paving control: “Improve paving productivity and rideability by directly referencing the design rather than a surface or stringline to minimize asphalt usage, reduce waste and overruns and finish projects on time […]
The possibility of 40% replacement of diesel fuel with LNG. Resource Erectors has been keeping a close eye on the Keystone shutdown effect since the Biden administration terminated the essential domestic fuel supply pipeline project. This executive order can potentially triple the cost of traditional fossil fuels. Afterwards, thousands of newly unemployed American and Canadian […]
The term “green concrete”, not so many decades ago, used to describe the condition of freshly poured ready mix concrete in construction projects or precast concrete products that required more curing time to achieve its full average 3,000 psi strength. The term “green” as applied to concrete was all about quality control. Now, in our […]
