Effects Of Concrete Replacement Tulsa OK

By Paul Rogers


Building and construction back dates to the first stages of civilization. Human beings have evolved and learned to apply different materials and skills to construct different structures. Over the years, concrete replacement Tulsa OK has been used to build a variety of infrastructure more than any other material. Economists encourage the use of the material while environmentalists discourage it for various reasons. Their points of view are depicted below.

This is a material that can be used to construct features with a variety of shapes. This is possible due to its original form where it is turned into different shapes as a sub-solid before drying and taking shape later as a hard object. This way, it becomes easy to design and implement the design into the actual project. This unique quality makes it exceptional from many substitute materials.

Its availability is another factor that prevails over most materials. The substitutes are available in most regions around the globe. Thus, it becomes relatively cheaper to build with the material due to accessibility as opposed to imported materials from other areas. Most buildings are made of concrete as it is available and affordable to many residents than other building materials such as glass.

The ability to endure harsh conditions over the years makes concrete one of a kind content. There are hundreds of buildings in Tulsa OK that were built decades ago and are in good conditions. This makes it a preferred choice for residents who want to put on various structures that are expected to serve for the long term. When such properties wear out, they can be refurbished and their value restored or even upgraded.

On the other hand, this material has got demerits. Mining of its constituent elements leads to release of harmful gases into the air. Dust particles also find their way in the air, and these make it difficult for people to breath. More unsafe gases and oxides are emitted which lower the quality of air in the regions that the industry is located.

The materials are also heavy and bulky thus require heavy transportation. This leads to more emissions of carbon dioxide from burnt fuels to the atmosphere. Thus this is an environmental hazard that should be looked upon by environmentalists to ensure that people are living in a better world. The trucks move between residential and commercial areas releasing this gas which pollute the air thus affecting residents of Tulsa OK directly or indirectly.

In as much as there is a need to come up with alternative building materials, the substitutes are not enough to meet the demand in the market. More so, many options are expensive to apply as compared to the use of concrete. This will render it more preferable by many proprietors existing or joining the industry. People usually choose the product that is more affordable and easy to apply.

Analyzing the above arguments, it can be concluded that the material has more economic benefits in the long run over other substances. Consequently, it has proven to have adverse effects on the environment due to air pollution. The latter can be solved by replacing its use with different substances. This would be expensive but environmental friendly. Therefore, merging the two points of view, we can insist on controlled production of cement, ballast, and sand where gases released in the air should be reacted to form harmless matter at the chimneys.
