Safe & Sound - Concrete Benefits

Steel reinforced concrete is an attractive building option for many reasons, one of which being its ability to resist damage from harsh weather and natural disasters. As climate change raises the likelihood of extreme weather events such as large storms, building structures from materials specifically engineered to face such challenges becomes increasingly necessary. The benefits of a steel reinforced concrete structures aren’t limited just to their durability: concrete structures made with reinforcing steel are adaptable, economical, and sustainable as well.

Resilient

Buildings, bridges, dams, and other structures made from steel reinforced concrete can withstand hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods.

Fire Protection

Steel reinforced concrete won't catch fire or spread toxic smoke and has inherent fire resistance that does not require additional costly treatments.

Proven and Tested

Steel reinforced concrete research and engineering spans decades and helps support industry innovations to better shape our modern world and future.

Flexible and Adaptable

Steel reinforced concrete structures can be inexpensively rearranged to new configurations and adapt as new technologies or uses are adopted.

Sound/Vibration Control

Using reinforced concrete helps to reduce noise from outside and adjacent compartments, be it in an office, apartment, or patient room.

Sustainable

Sustainable

Reinforced concrete typically is cast to precise specifications with little excess, reducing waste and resulting in a greener and more flexible product.
