CONEXPO 2026 Summary

Posted on by Nanette

Walking the CONEXPO Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center this week was an incredible reminder of just how fast innovation is moving in construction and heavy equipment. A few highlights that stood out:

-Best technology I found on the floor: the Verifi® platform from GCP. It provides live, actionable data to manage concrete production and delivery, giving teams real visibility across the entire process and recommendations for improvement.

-Smart technology everywhere – Robots, sensors, automation, and connected equipment in nearly every hall (and outside too). The integration of data and machines is clearly shaping the future of job sites.

– Some vendors definitely brought their sense of humor to their booths — which made walking miles of exhibits a lot more fun.

-The scale of the equipment was impressive — and by impressive I mean really big machines that make you stop and stare.

– A personal favorite: the CAT equipment demo in the Festival Grounds. Seeing that power and precision in action is always a highlight.

Events like CONEXPO show how technology, data, and equipment are coming together to drive smarter, safer, and more efficient construction projects.

Researchers validate HydroGraph graphene admixtures

HydroGraph Clean Power, a commercial processor of nanomaterials, and Arizona State University School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment researchers outline the role of high purity (> 99 percent carbon) graphene to elevate concrete performance in an ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering journal report. Measured against portland cement paste control specimens, HydroGraph fractal graphene aggregate (FGA-1) and reactive graphene (RGA-1) dosed at 0.04 percent helped a) increase early compressive strength by 70 percent and 28-day strength by 15 percent; b) reduce total porosity and critical pore size; and, c) more than double yield stress. The agents’ potential to function as supplementary cementitious materials indicates a prospective reduction in embodied carbon by 10-15 percent compared to portland cement concrete. 

For Trucks

For concrete trucks, Durex Products offer charge hopper liners designed to fit most makes and models. We also build urethane discharge bibs and drum wipers that greatly outperform the typical rubber products used in the industry today. https://durexproducts.com/products/concrete-products/ready-mix-equipment-liners/
