The Washington Aggregates & Concrete Association (WACA) and the American Concrete Institute's Washington state chapter will join Build With Strength to host a 3-day low carbon concrete symposium. The multiday event will focus on all aspects of decarbonizing the built environment and be held. June 18 - 20 in Seattle at the Cedarbrook Lodge.
Back by popular demand is the 2025 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards Banquet. “I am honored to be asked to participate as a judge," said NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Patrick Matsche (seen here at far right along with the other awards judges). "We are making great progress in the scale and type of successful projects that have embraced the challenge to lower the carbon footprint in Washington State.”
The education roundtable presentations and discussions are scheduled to include diverse market leaders. Wednesday's meetings provide an excellent time to meet with WSDOT, along with other state agencies to discuss recycled concrete aggregate, local permitting, Washington’s E-ticketing status and the next steps with Haul Hub. Day Two discussions include positioning the industry by advocating for full lifecycle analysis, accurate EPD reporting and industry support. Members of the Lower Carbon Concrete Taskforce will present the Lower Carbon Concrete Guide and representatives of NRMCA member companies will share their experience in decarbonizing their projects. Keynote Speaker Anthony Huey will discuss how to weave these elements into a compelling narrative for your business and our sector.
The event Friday, June 20, will feature hands-on training, focusing on contractors, subcontractors and concrete finishers/placers, Effectively Placing & Handling 1L Cement and Other Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs).
