National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s Post

A HUGE Win for Low-Carbon Concrete with #NRMCA Member Dickinson Ready Mix: https://bit.ly/4cZ0AXV Seven low-carbon concrete mixes were developed for the construction of the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota. In total, the results of this new low-carbon mix is designed to reduce the global warming potential by nearly 50%. Ben Olin, CQTM of Dickinson Ready Mix sees this as a generational project for the company and the region, remarking its rarity in magnitude, “To be able to say that I had a significant role in it – you get the guys in the back talking about it. They love going out there. They love being a part of it. Our team takes a lot of pride in it.” Set to open July 4, 2026, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is a massive innovative win highlighting Dickinson Ready Mix's everlasting commitment to sustainability – The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association comends your efforts and cannot wait until it is complete! #Sustainability #LowCarbon #BuildWithStrength #Dickinson #ReadyMix #NorthDakota #TRPL #Roosevelt #Concrete

Seven low-carbon concrete mixes were developed for the construction of the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota. Concrete contractor Winn Construction is at the helm, using a low-carbon concrete mix to help the building achieve its goal of setting new standards for sustainability. The concrete used for in the project is a new low-carbon mix designed to reduce the global warming potential by nearly 50%, compared to standard mixes, by utilizing recycled byproducts such as fly ash and slag. Meant to be a model of self-sufficiency being carbon-neutral, the building was designed to minimize its construction and environmental footprint. https://lnkd.in/gTxctH8A #paveahead #buildwithstrength #utahreadymixedconcreteassociation #webuildutah

High strength and ultra high strength concrete requires more cement than normal strength concrete at the construction stage. However, which one has the lowest carbon footprint over the entire life time of the building? The type of structure has a role to play too....

This document represents a “first answer” from ACI to the question: “What is low-carbon concrete?” 

Wow. Thanks to lots of interest in my latest (cement-related) story, my Forbes column has just passed a major milestone - more than HALF A MILLION page views! 503,495, as of right now. I never thought that my writing about the urban form, materials, construction, transport, and climate change would reach so many people. Thanks to everyone who has read and shared one of my articles over the years. Your interest is what keeps me going. https://lnkd.in/gwSVKeUh

Are you managing embodied carbon on your next construction project? Consider targetting the thresholds from the Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi). For residential projects, the 2025 target is 407 kg CO2e/m2. You can break that target into sub-targets for your various building components such as finishes, foundations, structure, etc. https://lnkd.in/giKza4ts

It is critically important the Government takes immediate action to increase the use of #timber instead of concrete in the construction of new buildings and promotes sustainable building methods, according to a new report from The Climate Change Advisory Council (CCAC).

With Climate change being one of the hottest topics of the present day. It is paramount that the construction industry walks the talk in addressing issues pertaining to climate change when executing works and coming up with new innovative construction methods, such as the one below. https://lnkd.in/dDPsi57K

Alternatives to standard concrete are becoming increasingly necessary due to environmental, economic, and performance-related factors. Standard concrete production is highly carbon-intensive, contributing significantly to global CO2 emissions, which exacerbate climate change. Furthermore, the extraction of raw materials for concrete places a strain on natural resources and ecosystems. #concrete #alternatives #construction Jean Lyons Lotus Tommy Gibbons Mark Wille Christina Goodvin B.Eng.
