This year’s World of Concrete expo proved there is a world of new products in the construction industry. MarketScale was in Las Vegas this week to get a firsthand look at everything that is going to be changing the way structures are built in 2019.

Concrete was at the center of the show but scaffolds, harnesses, power tools and even construction software was on display this week in the desert.

Nitrocrete, a business that cools concrete with liquid nitrogen stood out. So did ADM Inc., a company that offers a sand heater to better control mix temperature.

Sensera systems also had a noteworthy exhibit. The company provides construction jobsite monitoring software and drone photography so projects can be done more efficiently and more safely.

Sunergise buys Infratec to move from rooftops into utility-scale solar

Sunergise buys Infratec to move from rooftops into utility-scale solar

Sunergise is buying Infratec from WEL Networks for an undisclosed price. The commercial rooftop specialist, which has installed more than 50MW, gains utility-scale project delivery capability it did not have before.

  • 01By megawatts, the buyer is the smaller company: Sunergise has installed more than 50MW since 2012, while Infratec has built 194MW of solar and 49MWh of batteries.
  • 02Customers with live projects at either company keep their existing contracts and service commitments, but whether Infratec keeps its own name is still undecided.

TGS plans $100M Perito Moreno expansion to move 4.5M more cubic meters a day

TGS plans $100M Perito Moreno expansion to move 4.5M more cubic meters a day

Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS) wants to spend $100 million adding 4.5 million cubic meters a day to Argentina's Perito Moreno pipeline, which carries 21 million today. The request awaits Energy Secretariat approval. It comes alongside a $550 million compression project due by late April 2027 that will add 14 million cubic meters a day.

  • 01The $100 million add-on comes alongside an ongoing $550 million compression project on the same pipeline, and TGS plans to submit $70 million of the new spending under Argentina's RIGI investment incentive regime.
  • 02If the compression work and the 4.5 million option both deliver, Perito Moreno's first phase could carry substantially more than its current 21 million cubic meters a day.
  • 03Two milestones could set the pace: the Energy Secretariat's decision on TGS's October 8 request, and late April 2027, when three compression plants are scheduled to add 14 million cubic meters a day.

Sami Alnuaim's new book pushes oil fields toward making their own decisions

Sami Alnuaim's new book pushes oil fields toward making their own decisions

Intelligent oil field plans run into a scale problem. Roughly 70% of oil and gas digital initiatives never get past the pilot stage, so the payoff depends on funding, data ownership and engineering skills.

  • 01Roughly 70% of oil and gas digital initiatives never make it out of the pilot stage.
  • 02A sharper procurement question: which decisions can the system be trusted to make?
  • 03Emissions and safety are leading candidates for scaling intelligent workflows, where data sharing may face less resistance.
