WWW.ICCX.ORGwww.cpi-worldwide.com CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International | India Edition %u2013 1 | 2026 13a presentation on the advantages of precast concrete construction and will introduce the fib handbook. The Design and Construction Manual for Precast Buildings (fib Bulletin 74) offers a detailed overview of precast construction and enhances awareness and understanding of precast structures.Prof. Baris Binici of Middle East Technical University in Ankara will address the fundamental principles of earthquake-resistant design in his presentation on %u201cSeismic Behaviour and Design of Precast Construction: Challenges and Future Prospects%u201d.In addition, G%u00fcrol Gerzile, General Manager at AKAT Prefabrike, will provide insights into the production and erection of the four-storey TOKI building type using precast double-wall systems, which is recognised for its earthquake-resistant construction.Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), which is widely used in Turkey, also offers efficient solutions for seismic design. Prof. Christoph Butenweg of the University of Applied Sciences Aachen and Markus Hesse, Head of International Product Management at Xella Baustoffe (Germany), will present their current research project on this topic.Concrete technology workshopAnother highlight will be the concrete technology workshop jointly conducted by Prof. Hans Beushausen from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and Dr. James Mackechnie, CEO of Allied Concrete in New Zealand.This workshop carries the title %u201cConcrete Technology %u2013 Optimizing Performance, Durability, Sustainability, Quality Control, and Cost%u201c and explores the latest advances in concrete technology with a focus on optimizing performance, durability, sustainability, quality control, and cost efficiency. The workshop begins with an engaging discussion on the intersection of practice and academia, highlighting key differences between research insights and practical applications. Topics include strength development, modern cementitious binders, the use of recycled aggregates in concrete and concrete products, quality control, and current industry trends.Participants will gain practical knowledge on reducing cement content and associated quality control measures, designing low-carbon and green concrete mixes, and utilizing recycled aggregates effectively. The workshop will also cover high-strength concrete, including mix composition, early strength development, and prestress transfer, as well as strategies for improving durability in challenging environments such as marine conditions. This includes mix optimization, construction practices, curing techniques, protective coatings, and hydrophobic systems. Many practical topics related to the production of concrete products and precast concrete elements will be addressed in additional conference presentations.Next to the technical programme, networking will play an important role. ICCX T%u00fcrkiye positions itself as a central platform for exchange between manufacturers, designers, construction companies, research institutions and industry associations. Participants from Turkey, Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia will have the opportunity to establish new contacts and explore potential collaborations.Technical exhibition with more than 60 international and regional companiesAlongside the conference, a technical trade exhibition will take place with more than 60 international and regional companies presenting their products, system solutions and services. From machinery and equipment for precast concrete production to concrete mixing technology, software solutions and testing equipment, visitors will gain a comprehensive insight into current developments and innovations in the market.Most exhibition stands have already been allocated. Anyone wishing to secure a stand at the premiere of ICCX T%u00fcrkiye should act quickly.ICCX T%u00fcrkiye 2026 promises to be a high-level event, providing a clear focus on practical solutions, innovative technologies and efficient construction methods. It offers a unique opportunity to learn about current developments in the concrete and precast concrete industry, establish new business contacts and set the course for future projects.ICCX T%u00fcrkiye 2026 %u2013 Istanbul awaits you!Stay fully up to date and subscribe to our free ICCX newsletter, which will keep you informed about all updates regarding ICCX T%u00fcrkiye. nHans BeushausenJames MackechnieFURTHER INFORMATIONwww.iccx.orgT%u00dcRKIYE2026PartnerOrganizationSupportersPlatinum Sponsor Gold SponsorOfficial Airline
