Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Development of a platform for raw material tracking and concrete optimization
1025777
This project focuses on developing a cutting-edge solution for real-time tracking of raw materials used in concrete production, such as cement and aggregates. Giatec is developing technology to generate operational and environmental improvements in the construction industry. This project focuses on developing a solution to further improve the quality of concrete and reduce its environmental impact. Additionally, the system will generate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on an ongoing basis, ensuring accurate, up-to-date environmental impact data. This innovation aims to improve efficiency, sustainability, and transparency in the concrete industry while supporting regulatory compliance and decision making.

Smart Concrete Plant - Machine learning and material monitoring sensors to optimize concrete mixtures
1018004
The goal of the project is to benefit from the extensive Betotech domain expertise in raw material monitoring, concrete mixture development, historical data, and testing facilities, to develop algorithms which will incorporated into Giatec's product platform. The outcome will be to provide customers with concrete sensors and software that can perform: (a) the prediction of concrete mixture performance variations attributed to raw material changes and (b) the optimization of concrete mixtures in terms of cost and carbon footprint attributable to changes in material characteristics.
