Sustainable development.
Concrete is a critical part of the world’s infrastructure and plays a key role in sustainable development. If your project is going to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified, concrete and concrete products can achieve between 30 to 48 points in various sections of the LEED rating system. Most people associate concrete on LEED projects as contributing only to Material and Resource Credits, but concrete can aid in achieving points in other areas as well. Our LEED Accredited Professionals (APs), along with our engineers and technologists, can design concrete materials to conserve energy and earn additional LEED points.
Continuing education services for concrete materials and procedures.
As concrete consulting professionals, we believe that continuing education on issues concerning concrete and concrete construction is an integral part of doing business in the concrete industry.
