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.

Egypt's 1.2 GWp Nefer Minya solar and battery project secures up to $566M in debt

Egypt's 1.2 GWp Nefer Minya solar and battery project secures up to $566M in debt

Infinity Power and HAU Energy secured up to $566 million in debt for Nefer Minya, a 1.2 GWp solar plant in Egypt paired with a 600 MWh battery. Its power goes to the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company under a 25-year power purchase agreement.

  • 01Strip away the superlatives and Nefer Minya is a 25-year contract with a state buyer, wrapped around one of the country's first utility-scale batteries.
  • 02The battery is meant to store daytime power for peak demand after sunset. That suggests a plant that reaches into the evening peak, not one that runs through the night.

Nvidia and Schneider test a digital twin to rehearse AI data center upgrades

Nvidia and Schneider test a digital twin to rehearse AI data center upgrades

Nvidia and Schneider Electric are piloting a digital twin at Nscale's SIN01 data center in Portugal that links AI workloads to power and cooling models. One analyst sees the twin's near-term value as lower commissioning risk. Efficiency gains still need measured results against a baseline of comparable workloads and hardware.

  • 01The near-term payoff of the SIN01 twin is fewer surprises at commissioning. Efficiency claims still have to be proven against a measured baseline.
  • 02A fair test of any data center twin compares time to first token, commissioning defects, PUE, thermal events and measured compute output against a baseline using comparable workloads and hardware.
  • 03Schneider's 2.5 MW MCDU-70 cooling unit is sized for Nvidia DSX Blueprint designs, where six units provide 4+2 redundancy for a 10 MW deployment.

Finance first, batteries twice: what India's DISCOMs will discuss at DUM 2026

Finance first, batteries twice: what India's DISCOMs will discuss at DUM 2026

India Smart Grid Forum's 10th Distribution Utility Meet runs October 27-28, 2026 in Jaipur, with senior officials from 40+ power distribution companies expected. The first session covers distributor finances and capital market readiness. Two of the seven sessions name battery storage.

  • 01Two of DUM 2026’s seven sessions name battery storage, and finance and capital-market readiness is listed first, suggesting DISCOM leaders are weighing upgrades and how to pay for them.
  • 02ISGF’s event page records 688 participants and 45-plus DISCOMs at the 2025 Mumbai edition, an obvious baseline for comparing DUM 2026’s scale.
