The concrete industry is facing an exciting transformation. With a new Swedish standard for natural pozzolans, there are opportunities to use materials like calcined clay and volcanic ash in concrete—something that can reduce the carbon footprint without compromising on quality.

Karlatornet is an impressive landmark in Gothenburg. For us at Team Thomas, it has been a fantastic opportunity to be part of this project, and we are proud to have contributed with both our expertise and innovative capabilities. Here is the final part of our article series.

Building the tallest structure in the Nordics required innovative technology, meticulous planning, and strong collaboration. For us at Team Thomas, the task of pumping concrete 246 meters into the air was a technical challenge that demanded customized solutions and constant ingenuity.

Concrete is the world's most widely used building material and has played a central role in the construction of societies for thousands of years. Despite its extensive use, concrete is surrounded by misconceptions and false rumors. In this article, we will debunk some of the most common myths while highlighting well-substantiated facts.

Karlatornet in Gothenburg, Sweden, standing at 246 meters, is the tallest building in the Nordics and one of the tallest residential buildings in Europe. The construction required innovative thinking, meticulous planning, and above all, world-class concrete. As The Concrete Specialists, we have played a crucial role in the project.

Using volcanic ash in concrete is not a new concept. In fact, the ancient Romans used volcanic ash and lime as binding materials in their constructions. The Pantheon and the Colosseum, said to be among the best-preserved buildings from ancient Rome, are two examples. With an eye toward carbon-neutral concrete, Thomas Concrete Group is striving to emulate this historical construction method.
