RANGE OF ACTIVITIES:
• consulting in the field of architectural, bridge architectural, polished architectural concretes (including floor concretes) and other special concretes,
• selection of the method of making architectural concrete,
• preparation of architectural concrete samples in order to select the appropriate visual effect,
• creating specifications (STWiORB) of architectural concrete for the detailed design, including:
o requirements for architectural concrete (surface quality, categories, color, texture, protection),
o provisions regarding quality assurance (mock-ups, Quality Assurance Plan),
o guidelines on the conditions of performance (formwork, release agents, embedding, maintenance, repair),
• supervising the execution of architectural concrete (verification of documentation, control of concrete mix deliveries, control of formwork, ongoing quality verification),
• expertise in assessing the quality of architectural concrete and other special concretes,
• Quality Assurance Plans and concreting plans for solid structures.
NEWS:
Krzysztof Kuniczuk. A graduate of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology. Since 1998, he has been dealing with concrete technology, initially as a technologist, then a regional technologist and regional manager in the Concrete and Aggregate Quality Department of Cemex Polska Sp. z o.o., then the Director of the Quality and Technology Department at Lafarge Kruszywa i Beton Sp. z o.o. Currently, an independent advisor in the field of architectural and special concretes.
He participated in the implementation of many objects with the use of architectural concrete, acting as an advisor, architectural concrete technologist and supervising the production, delivery and incorporation of concrete mix. He cooperated with architectural offices as a consultant and author of architectural concrete specifications for newly constructed buildings, including:
- Polish Embassy in Berlin for JEMS Architekci
- Polish Army Museum in Warsaw for WXCA
- Polish History Museum in Warsaw for WXCA
- Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw for Thomas Phifer and Partners
- LPP campus in Gdańsk for JEMS Architekci
- The Memorial Room at the Warsaw Insurgents Cemetery in Wola for Piotr Bujnowski
- Nature Education Center in Kirach for POLE Architekci.
He is also the author and co-author of many publications in the field of architectural concrete and self-compacting concrete, incl. the only monograph on the Polish market describing aspects related to the design, production, repair and acceptance of architectural concrete, entitled Architectural concrete - technical guidelines.
Everything can be made of concrete and what is created can be impressive. Though architectural concrete is as it is and everyone experiences it differently it is possible to create a platform of understanding between an investor, architect and contractor, and to build incredible constructions in engineering and visual terms.
Range of activities:
advice on architectural, architectural bridge, architectural polished concrete (including flooring) and other special concretes,- selection of execution method for architectural concrete
- preparation of samples of architectural concretes with a view to selecting the right visual effect,
- creation of specifications (STWiORB) for fair-faced concrete for the execution design, including, but not limited to: requirements for fair-faced concrete (surface quality, categories, colour, texture, protection), quality assurance provisions (mock-ups, Quality Assurance Plan), guidelines for execution conditions (formwork, release agents, installation, care, repair),
- supervising the execution of the fair-faced concrete (verification of documentation, control of concrete delivery, control of formwork, ongoing verification of quality).
Expert opinions on the assessment of the execution of fair-faced concrete:
- determination of criteria for compliance of architectural concrete with the requirements contained in the specifications (public buildings, bridges, individual buildings);
- determination of workmanship quality on the basis of a reference element;
- completion of inventory documentation;
- making a comparative analysis of the quality of the completed elements in relation to the indicated/selected reference objects in Poland and in the world made of architectural concrete;
- assessing the quality of architectural concrete in the completed elements.
Advice on special concretes:
- analysis of formulas, supervision of execution, verification of records for bridge, pavement, SCC and other special concretes;
- Execution of Quality Assurance Plans and concreting plans for massive elements.

Beton architektoniczny mostowy - wytyczne do projektowania, wykonywania i oceny
Artykuł jest próbą uzupełnienia zapisów zawartych w publikacji Beton architektoniczny. Wytyczne techniczne według której tworzone są specyfikacje dla tego materiału. Ma na celu usprawnienie współpracy między zamawiającym, wykonawcą i nadzorem przy realizacjach związanych z wykonywaniem betonu architektonicznego mostowego.
Beton architektoniczny – wytyczne techniczne
Każdy obserwator odbiera beton inaczej, każdy definiuje go według własnej wrażliwości. Czy takie podejście do tego materiału budowlanego jest wystarczające dla inżynieria?ABC betonu architektonicznego polerowanego
BETON ARCHITEKTONICZNY POLEROWANY – powierzchnie wykonane z materiałów powłokowych (tzw. mikrocementy), okładzin cienkowarstwowych (jastrychy, tzw. lastryko, terrazzo), betonowych powierzchniowo utwardzanych lub nieutwardzonych, powstałe w skutek obróbki powierzchni w wyniku szlifowania lub szlifowania i polerowania; jest specjalnie projektowany na etapie tworzenia dokumentacji, w której określone są wymagania dotyczące jego powierzchni oraz w wyniku eksponowania wpływa on na wizualny charakter obiektu.
W związku z częstymi wątpliwościami względem nazewnictwa termin „beton architektoniczny polerowany” przyjęto do określenia zarówno powierzchni z faktura szlifowaną jak i polerowaną.
Pojęcie „beton architektoniczny polerowany” dotyczy zarówno powierzchni posadzek jak i innych powierzchni z betonu architektonicznego poddanych odpowiedniej obróbce, np. ściany, słupy, elewacje, prefabrykaty, elementy małej architektury.
