What World of Concrete Told Us About the Future of Construction

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.
