The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that it has selected PCI, National Precast Concrete Association, and the American Concrete Pipe Association to receive a $9.95 million grant in EPA’s Reducing Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Construction Materials and Products Grant Program.
NEU, an ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete, successfully held its Spring 2024 Summit titled “From Policy to Placement: Implementing Reduced-Carbon Concrete Construction” on the campus of the University of California, Davis (UC Davis).
While concrete initially offers a pristine protective environment, sooner or later cracks and carbonation will allow corrosion to initiate at the level of the rebar. It is therefore important for engineers and builders to incorporate corrosion mitigation into the design phase of a reinforced concrete structure.
Have you submitted your precast concrete projects to the 2025 PCI Design Awards? The PCI Design Awards program recognizes design excellence and construction quality using precast concrete.
Precast concrete is a vital ingredient in keeping facilities and their occupants safe. The following examples of military installations and federal courthouses show how precast concrete protects life.
The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute welcomes Bartlomiej Krol, P.E., as its new Managing Director, Quality Programs. He will be responsible for PCI’s quality programs, including certification activities for precast concrete plants, erectors, and personnel.
The Slag Cement Association announced the addition of Texas Lehigh Cement Company as its newest member company. Texas Lehigh will be starting production at a new slag cement facility in Houston, Texas this summer.
The educational event, held on April 29 and April 30, featured technical presentations on the benefits of slag cement in concrete design and construction, as well as sustainability tools and resources available to the concrete industry.
The Northeast chapter of the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute has named Sarah Patrie, PE, as its new executive director. In her new role, Patrie will advance PCI’s marketing, technical, and educational efforts in New England and New York State.
