 The future of solar energy, from battery-free solar to solar cars and ultimately the delivery of solar energy to the planet, is bright. The future of this renewable energy source is bright and will only get brighter. One of the next steps towards environmental progress is the integration of photovoltaic solar systems into our homes, workplaces and streets. Technological innovation has revolutionised the way the world views electricity. We are now able to generate our own electricity and control how we use it. This is thanks to the development of solar energy and the increase in solar panels. The technology is now so advanced that we can now create integrated photovoltaics. The demand for integrated PV buildings is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. What is BIPV ( Building Integrated Photovoltaics )? Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a term used for building material systems and design strategies to create buildings that use photovoltaic cells to generate cle

Corrugated metal pipes (CMPs)  are some of the most commonly used materials for underground stormwater infrastructure. They go largely unnoticed, but are necessary to support the daily functions of our lives by properly moving water to avoid issues like water ponding, standing water on roadways, and localized flooding. CMPs are used for various underground infrastructure projects such as culverts, stormwater detention/retention systems, storm sewers, small bridge replacements, aeration pipes, material conduits, and more. CMPs can require frequent maintenance and repairs if they aren't given adequate protection through the use of things like structural polymeric linings. Keep reading to learn about CMPs, 3 common issues they face, and how to fix them!                                            Corrugated metal pipes What is a corrugated metal pipe? A corrugated metal pipe (CMP) is a pipe—used for culverts and other underground infrastructure—that has a distinct set of parallel groov

 The construction industry has always been at the forefront of innovation, constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency, durability, and sustainability in building practices. One emerging technology that holds great promise in revolutionizing the industry is concrete fiber solutions. By incorporating various types of fibers into concrete mixtures, these solutions aim to enhance the strength, durability, and versatility of traditional concrete. But can  concrete fiber solutions  truly transform the construction landscape? In this article, we delve into the potential benefits and challenges associated with this innovative approach. Enhanced Strength and Durability: Concrete fiber solutions offer a significant improvement in the strength and durability of concrete structures. By adding fibers such as steel, glass, synthetic, or natural materials, concrete gains enhanced tensile strength, crack resistance, and impact resistance. These fibers act as reinforcements within the concrete matri
