🧱 Concrete has been used for some of the most famous structures, like the Roman Pantheon. In fact, the Ancient Romans created their own special concrete that we are barely learning the ingredients of (the secret ingredients are lime, seawater, and volcanic ash!).
🏗 At the time of its creation, the Hoover Dam was the largest concrete structure ever built, using more than 3.25 cubic yards of concrete as well as impressive cofferdams. Currently, the Grand Coulee Dam is the largest, using more than 11,975,521 cubic yards of concrete for comparison, modern housing uses an average of 66.5 cubic yards.
🦺 Today, with the recovery of the housing market, the need for concrete specialists and equipment has risen.
Was that a fact you knew?
