Chen Min: Innovation is the Most Important Driving Force for the Development of Concrete Industry

2024-12-20 09:06:03

The concrete material industry has gone through a period of large-scale expansion and entered the downturn of the construction market. The whole industry is facing unprecedented challenges, from "supply exceeds demand" to "supply exceeds demand", the output is "ups and downs", and the production capacity is only about 40%. At the same time, the industry not only has to face the government's high requirements for low-carbon environmental protection of industry materials, but also has to adapt to the adjustment of resource quality, such as the reuse of machine-made sand, recycled aggregate and construction waste.

On December 20, the "2024 China Ready-Mixed Concrete East China Four Provinces and Cities (Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui) Large Enterprise Leaders Meeting" sponsored by China Concrete and Cement Products Association and co-sponsored by East China Four Provinces and Cities Concrete Association was held in Hangzhou. Chen Min, Vice President of Zhejiang Concrete Association, attended the meeting and delivered a speech.

Chen Min said that the whole industry is facing unprecedented challenges, from "shortage of supply" to "oversupply", "ups and downs" of output, and only about 40% of production capacity. At the same time, the industry should not only face the government's high requirements for low-carbon environmental protection of industry materials, but also adapt to the adjustment of resource quality, such as machine-made sand and recycled aggregate. Reuse of construction waste and so on.

Chen Min pointed out that innovation is the most important driving force for the development of the industry. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in concrete technology, and new concrete materials such as high performance, self-compacting, lightweight and high strength have emerged, such as ultra-high performance concrete, lightweight concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, nano-concrete, etc. These materials have unique advantages and characteristics in improving concrete durability, environmental protection and showing mechanical properties. Each technological breakthrough has greatly improved the performance and application scope of concrete. These achievements are not only reflected in the quality and safety of construction projects, but also show great potential in energy saving, emission reduction and environmental protection.

Green and environmentally friendly resource materials are an indispensable part of the new field, and also another commanding point for the concrete industry to reshape. Therefore, we need to constantly explore the preparation technology of low-carbon and environmentally friendly concrete, reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, promote the recycling of solid waste concrete, and realize the "turning waste into treasure" of construction waste to build a circular economy system. Actively responding to the call of national comprehensive green transformation, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of new energy pure electric mixer truck replacing existing oil truck, carbon sequestration mixing building and other energy-saving and emission reduction construction will be our future tasks.

The following is the full text of the speech:

Distinguished leaders, Ladies and gentlemen

, it

is a great pleasure to be invited to attend the "2024 China Ready Mixed Concrete Leaders Meeting of Large Enterprises in Four Provinces and Cities of East China (Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui)" organized by China Concrete and Cement Products Association. On behalf of Zhejiang Concrete Association, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all leaders, colleagues and guests in the industry, and express my heartfelt wishes for the smooth convening of this grand meeting.

In this golden and fruitful season, we talk about the latest progress of concrete technology, analyze the development trend of the industry, share the application results of innovative materials, and conduct in-depth discussions on green environmental protection materials, industry situation and difficulties: the recovery of accounts receivable, hoping to further strengthen the industry alliance in the Yangtze River Delta region through this platform. Promote the knowledge sharing of "four places", stimulate innovative thinking, and contribute to the sustainable development of concrete material industry.

The concrete material industry has gone through a period of large-scale expansion and entered the downturn of the construction market. The whole industry is facing unprecedented challenges, from "supply exceeds demand" to "supply exceeds demand", the output is "ups and downs", and the production capacity is only about 40%. At the same time, the industry not only has to face the government's high requirements for low-carbon environmental protection of industry materials, but also has to adapt to the adjustment of resource quality, such as the reuse of machine-made sand, recycled aggregate and construction waste.

At this critical moment of stabilizing the industry, the leading enterprises of the "four provinces and cities in East China" and the resource enterprises supplying raw materials have gathered in Hangzhou to actively explore the path of green development, get out of the downturn, and strive to realize the transformation from scale expansion to quality and efficiency, which makes the conference more far-reaching. Innovation is the most important driving force for the development of the industry. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in concrete technology, and new concrete materials such as high performance, self-compacting, lightweight and high strength have emerged, such as ultra-high performance concrete, lightweight concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, nano-concrete, etc. These materials have unique advantages and characteristics in improving concrete durability, environmental protection and showing mechanical properties. Each technological breakthrough has greatly improved the performance and application scope of concrete. These achievements are not only reflected in the quality and safety of construction projects, but also show great potential in energy saving, emission reduction and environmental protection.

Green and environmentally friendly resource materials are an indispensable part of the new field, and also another commanding point for the concrete industry to reshape. Therefore, we need to constantly explore the preparation technology of low-carbon and environmentally friendly concrete, reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, promote the recycling of solid waste concrete, and realize the "turning waste into treasure" of construction waste to build a circular economy system. Actively responding to the call of national comprehensive green transformation, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of new energy pure electric mixer truck replacing existing oil truck, carbon sequestration mixing building and other energy-saving and emission reduction construction will be our future tasks.

Today's grand meeting has set up a platform for us to cooperate and exchange. We should work together to strengthen the cooperation between industry, University and research, strengthen the close ties between upstream and downstream industries, jointly meet the challenges under the current situation, and promote the sustainable development of concrete materials. I believe that through the active participation and enthusiastic ideological collision, and taking the opportunity of this conference, we will further improve and deepen the exchange mechanism, and jointly promote the innovation and development of the concrete material industry, which will surely be effective

. Finally, I wish the conference a complete success, and I wish you all good health and success in your career. I look forward to meeting again in the future.

Thank you all!
