the developments of the concrete industry this week 1. Scientists have created "star concrete": its strength is twice
that of ordinary concrete. On March 19, scientists at the University of Manchester invented a new material. Called StarCrete, it is made of outer space dust, potato starch and a little salt, which can be used to build houses on Mars. The team demonstrated that ordinary potato starch can act as a binder when mixed with simulated Martian dust to produce a concrete-like material. At the time of the test, the compressive strength of "Star Concrete" was 72 megapascals (MPa), more than twice the 32 MPa found in normal concrete. The star-shaped concrete made from lunar dust is even stronger, exceeding 91 megapascals. In addition, they found that magnesium chloride can significantly improve the strength of "interstellar concrete". On the morning
of March 21, Hefei Shangjian Guojun Building Materials Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shanghai Construction Engineering Building Materials Technology Group, officially opened, marking the official landing of the 99th concrete company of Shanghai Construction Engineering. It is also the 54th concrete company outside Shanghai. So far, on the basis of the annual output of ready-mixed concrete exceeding 40 million cubic meters, the concrete business scope of Building Materials Science and Technology Group has covered nearly 20 cities in six provinces and cities, including Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and Fujian. This year, the target of 50 million cubic meters will be anchored to fully serve the national strategy and promote the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. Hefei Shangjian Guojun Building Materials Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned holding company of Building Materials Science and Technology Co., Ltd., is located in the core area of Beicheng New District of Hefei City, covering an area of more than 36000 square meters.
Yunnan Jiantou Concrete: The pre-tax profit is expected to increase by no less than 133%
in 2022. On March 22, Yunnan Jiantou Concrete announced that for the year ending December 31, 2022, The Group expects that the profit before income tax of the Group for the financial year 2022 will not be less than RMB35 million, representing an increase of not less than 133% as compared with the same period in 2021. According to the announcement, the expected increase in the Group's profit before income tax is mainly due to the Group's active transformation and upgrading, the reduction of management levels, the implementation of centralized management, the establishment of a centralized procurement platform, the implementation of centralized bidding and procurement of raw materials to reduce procurement costs and cost quota management, and the further implementation of information construction, which has achieved good results.
This week, the national concrete price index closed at 140.20 points, up 0.11% on a month-on-month basis and down on a year-on-year basis. 7. Regionally, local concrete prices in Guangdong market increased by 10 yuan per square meter, while concrete prices in other provinces and cities in China were mainly stable. In
the next ten days, the cumulative precipitation in the eastern part of Sichuan Basin, Jiangnan, the southern part of central and southern China, Guizhou, northeastern Yunnan and southeastern Xizang will be 25-60 mm, of which 70-180 mm will be in the south-central part of Jiangnan and the northern part of Guangdong and Guangxi, with a local precipitation of more than 200 mm, and the precipitation in most of these areas will be 5-9% more than that in the same period of the year. The local precipitation is 1 ~ 3 times more than normal, and the precipitation in the rest of China is basically close to normal. In terms of temperature, the average temperature in the eastern and northeastern parts of Inner Mongolia is 1 to 3 degrees higher than that in the same period of the year, while the temperature in northern Xinjiang, Xizang, Eastern Sichuan Basin and northern Jiangnan is 1 to 2 degrees lower, and the temperature in most other parts of China is close to that in the same period of the year.
To sum up, the precipitation in the south next week is still on the high side, which has a certain adverse impact on the construction activities. Downstream market demand is in the recovery stage, municipal and infrastructure projects mainly support demand, housing construction market demand is still lower than same period in previous years, domestic concrete shipments growth is slow. In terms of cost, the recent rise and fall of cement prices is not large, but the cost of sand and gravel is still rising, and the overall support is still acceptable. On the whole, the price of concrete market will remain stable next week, and there may be a slight adjustment in some areas.
