Energetic Concrete ‘generating power in every step’ from Akçansa
Being a leader construction materials company of Turkey, Akçansa took its place again in this year in the International Construction Show, one of the important meeting platforms of the sector.
The star of Akçansa’s stand was the project named Smartcem that ranked as first in the Betonik Fikirler Project Contest. The project that is also called as ‘Energetic Concrete’ generates power in every step taken. 100 percent energy is saved through the transformation of the pressure into electric power.
Furthermore in the stand of Akçansa, Betonsa Customized Products Catalog mobile application as well as KraTosbeton, which is the joint project of Sabancı affiliates, have been introduced to the visitors.
Bringing important investments into life through acting from the great importance of the uninterrupted and low-cost power supply in the sector, Akçansa affixed its signature under a promotion that is fairly emphasized during the International Construction Show of this year. The company presented the Smartcem named project, which was ranked as first in the previous year’s Betonik Fikirler Project Contest, to the knowledge of the sector professionals.
Integrating the concrete into the power generation process, the Smartcem project focuses on revealing the electric power when the piezoelectric material merges with pressure. So the steps taken during the day are converted into electric power and then used in lighting. The same system can be enabled when it is placed on the concrete benches; so the materials are heated with the revealed power. By this means, the concrete becomes a hot material.
Smart Application for Customized Products
Continuing its activities in the field of digitalizing, Akçansa promoted its Betonsa Customized Products Mobile Catalog, which has been activated for the purpose of responding to the business partners and customers in a faster manner, during the show. Aiming to access to the customized products and customized solutions at any time through the product selection tool, the application offers the opportunity to quickly learn the product related information and places of use.
