Structural engineers from throughout Minnesota gathered at the annual Minnesota Structural Engineers Association Annual Seminar and Trade Show held in Edina last month. The program featured two ready mixed concrete industry presentations that demonstrated the sustainability as well as the versatility of concrete products. Donn Thompson, NRMCA senior director, building innovations (seen here at right presenting the Concrete Innovation Award to Cemstone Senior Materials Engineer Kevin Heindel, PE) and John Lee, director of business development for NRMCA Producer member Cemstone Products Co., co-presented Sustainability in Concrete, outlining available tools and strategies for lowering the embodied carbon in ready mixed concrete specified for buildings, pavements and infrastructure projects. Thompson also highlighted the functionality of NRMCA’s new online Concrete Carbon Calculator to the group of more than 60 attendees.
