Self-healing construction materials repair their own cracks and surface damage, which cuts maintenance and extends the life of roads and buildings. According to Polaris Market Research, the market was worth $5.75 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $19.35 billion by 2034.

Self-healing concrete leads the field. It contains healing agents such as microcapsules or bacteria that activate when air or water reaches a crack, producing compounds that seal it and restore strength.

Construction technology company Trimble signed a multi-year sponsorship with NASCAR's RFK Racing. It debuted in the 2025 season on Ryan Preece's No. 60 Ford Mustang at Nashville Superspeedway on June 1.

The deal also brought Trimble into the RFK TeK Alliance, where tech sponsors test and refine products in a racing environment. RFK co-owner Brad Keselowski called NASCAR """"a weekly science experiment,"""" and the team planned to use tools like digital twins to refine performance virtually before cars hit the track.

The new Howard Frankland Bridge opened in March 2025, carrying Interstate 275 traffic between Tampa and St. Petersburg. With more than 2.6 million square feet of bridge deck, it is the largest bridge project ever built in Florida.

This case study looks at a part of the job most drivers never see: the stormwater drainage system on the causeways. FDOT and contractor Archer Western chose polypropylene and HDPE thermoplastic pipe from Advanced Drainage Systems because saltwater breaks down concrete and corrodes steel. Thermoplastic pipe doesn't react to salt, and the system carries a 100-year design service life. The work later earned Project of the Year from the Plastics Pipe Institute.

Nexans, a U.S. maker of subsea power cable, partnered with Crowley Wind Services to develop and operate a 300-foot cable lay barge that complies with the Jones Act, the federal law that reserves domestic shipping for U.S.-flagged, U.S.-crewed vessels.

The barge lays and buries the subsea cables that carry offshore wind power to the onshore grid. Its 3,500-ton cable carousel can be upgraded to 7,000 tons with a second carousel. At the time of the announcement, the barge was positioned to support Equinor's Empire Wind project for New York.

Doleco USA released its DoRa Gen 2 Ratcheting Load Binder in 2025. A ratcheting load binder tightens the chain that holds cargo down on a trailer, and this version does it 33 percent faster than the original.

The redesigned thread moves the spindle four millimeters per full turn instead of three, so tensioning and release take less effort. Visual markers warn operators as they near maximum extension, and a mechanical lock keeps the spindle from separating in the field.

Stykkishólmur, a town of about 1,200 on Iceland's Snæfellsnes Peninsula, runs a busy fishing port in a sheltered natural bay. For the large wharf that serves its bigger fishing vessels, the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration commissioned ShibataFenderTeam to supply 42 extruded rubber fenders.

Each fender runs 4.6 meters long so boats get safe contact at every tide level in a harbor exposed to strong winds. The quay's open wood structure offered limited anchoring, so the five bolt holes in each fender took careful planning.

A National Transportation Safety Board investigation detailed a January 2024 incident on the Cooper River near North Charleston, S.C., where the crane barge Stevens 1471, under tow by the towing vessel Royal Engineer, contacted a terminal's ship-to-shore crane, causing more than $4.5 million in damage. No injuries or pollution were reported. NTSB determined the probable cause was the tow's mate not identifying the ship-to-shore crane as an overhead hazard while maneuvering through a confined area.
