ABOUT US

EcoSmart is a not-for-profit Canadian corporation specializing in making innovative technologies for sustainability available to the construction sector. In the UAE its emphasis is on the use of EcoSmart Concrete, which is a carefully engineered material containing very high volumes of such supplementary cementing materials (SCM) as fly ash and ground blast furnace slag. EcoSmart Concrete, when properly engineered, is stronger and more durable than conventional concrete. It is also typically cheaper.

For almost a decade, EcoSmart has worked with designers, engineers, developers and construction managers to test the use of EcoSmart Concrete in real world construction projects. More than twenty successful Canadian case studies have led to hundreds of projects successfully incorporating the technology in all types of structures, from towers and transit stations, to bridges and universities. Made with the same or greater standards than with traditional methods and at no extra cost, these projects demonstrate that it is possible to combine performance, profitability and environmental responsibility in concrete construction.

With the support of the Canadian government (Natural Resources Canada through the Technology Early Action Measures Program - TEAM - and CANMET), EcoSmart is now introducing EcoSmart Concrete and its design, engineering methods, applications and techniques to the United Arab Emirates.

EcoSmart is setting up demonstration projects in the Emirates and is able to provide technical support, including additional testing, training, design and implementation to case study partners.

Parties interested in participating in this cutting edge project to incorporate EcoSmart Concrete in their Emirates construction project should contact EcoSmart at: info@ecosmartconcrete.com.
