Industrial Concrete Buildings
Industrial buildings benefit greatly if constructed out of concrete rather than steel or other materials. Not only does concrete provide the framework of the building, but it also enhances the performance of the building in many ways.

Benefits of Industrial Concrete:
- Airtight – Poured concrete is seamless and therefore reduces air leakage which accounts for lower heating and cooling bills.
- Fire Resistant – Concrete offers a greater resistance to fires than other building materials. If a fire does occur, concrete allows far more time for a fire to be put out and the building can then be repaired and up and running quickly as opposed to having to completely demolish and start over.
- Security – Concrete is a built in security system. Industrial buildings constructed of concrete are not easily penetrated by thieves or machinery that could cause damage to less impact resistant materials.
- Energy Efficient – Due to the thermal mass properties of concrete, a concrete building can reduce the heating and cooling costs.
