Kentucky Concrete, Inc. - The company was founded in 1979 under the name Hardin County Ready Mix, Inc. by nine local builder/developers to insure a readily available source of concrete for their own use, as well as filling a gap in the market for timely deliveries of concrete. In 1982, the late Joe K. Schlatter purchased the stock from the other eight local builders. With steady growth over the next few years and a growing need for an easier access to the Elizabethtown market, the assets of Larue County Ready Mix was purchased in early 1984. The business was incorporated under the name of Lincoln Trail Ready Mix, Inc. and ran separate from Hardin County Ready Mix, Inc. Read more.

After decades in the cut-throat concrete industry, Australian Joe Wagner recognizes the importance of innovation to remaining competitive. Wagners, a family company that supplies construction materials to the building industry, has invested eight years of research and development at its laboratory in Toowoomba, Queensland, into the formulation of a "green" concrete. The product, marketed as "earth-friendly concrete", is based on a cement-like material made using slag and fly ash that replaces Portland cement as a binder in concrete. Wagner says the concrete costs about as much as that made with Portland cement. However, it is making inroads into the market, partly because of its environmental and structural characteristics.

Perhaps at some point you find yourself asking, "Where do old poker chips go when casino bosses decide they're no longer fit for using?" Well, sometimes the answer involves the world's most versatile building material and, in a reference to Las Vegas's sometimes sordid past, "sleeping with the fishes."

Today’s furniture makers are using the industrial material to make a wide range of objects, from dining chairs and tables to candelabras and even pillows. To do so, designers often replace the gravel and sand used in conventional concrete with high-tech materials, such as fibreglass or steel-reinforcing micro fibres.

PAVEMENTS
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) established a technical working group (TWG) to provide input and feedback on pavement and material sustainability. The working group is composed of representatives from state DOTs, other government agencies, academia and industry. The working group is part of FHWA's Sustainable Pavements Program, established in 2010, which strives to advance the knowledge and practice of sustainability in the pavements and materials area. The integrated program covers asphalt, concrete, granular and recyclable materials used in pavement systems and promotes research into new sustainable materials and processes.

Program objectives include developing guidelines for designing and constructing sustainable pavement systems; evaluating materials, processes, technologies and tools to aid in the evaluation, design and construction of sustainable pavement systems; and conducting technology transfer and deployment activities. In support of these objectives, the working group meets twice a year to exchange ideas, innovative solutions and evaluate products under development by the FHWA sustainable pavements team. At a recent TWG meeting held in Baton Rouge, LA, Franz-Joseph Ulm of the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub presented the latest results of the pavement-vehicle interaction (PVI) model being developed by MIT and feedback from the group was very positive. Previous input from the technical working group was instrumental in shaping the current version of the PVI model. NRMCA Vice President Pavement Structures Brian Killingsworth is a friend of the committee and ensures that the benefits of ready mixed concrete are considered in the work that the group performs.

PROMOTIONS
The NRMCA Promotion Committee Task Force on Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) is charting the waters for producers looking to dip their toes into the RCC market. "Roller-Compacted concrete pavement is a viable alternative to conventional asphalt paving that offers our industry strong growth opportunities," says NRMCA Senior National Resource Director Phil Kresge. " As we move into this market we have plenty to learn and the task force will help in smoothing out that learning curve."

During a recent meeting, the task force determined that there are several good technical documents currently available or in development that provide information on production, design and construction of RCC pavement. It was suggested that what is needed is a Ready Mixed Producer’s Guide to Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement that would assist producers in understanding the nuances of RCC, specifically in mix design and placement procedure.

A section of the Guide will also be dedicated to how best to promote RCC pavement, patterned after NRMCA’s Promotion and Advocacy Guide for Concrete Streets and Roads. Topics within this section will include customers’ expectations for RCC pavement, the difference between selling conventional concrete and RCC, and developing relationships with RCC/Asphalt Contractors.

There is still opportunity for anyone interested to join the RCC Task Force by contacting Phil Kresge at pkresge@nrmca.org.

A Kansas City industry group organized a seminar titled "Is Your Concrete Chemically Dependent" for designers and contractors to address some of the restrictive specifications and the associated problems with construction. The seminar provided three professional Development Hours to Architects and Engineers through the AIA-CES, with NRMCA member Ash Grove Materials as the education provider. The seminar was attended by 75 designers, contractors and industry members, along with NRMCA Senior Vice President of Engineering Colin Lobo.
 
Rusty Owings with Hunt Martin Materials discussed the topic of minimum water content required for appropriate consistency and the restrictions caused by conservative water-cement ratio limits in project specifications. He illustrated several projects in the region where problems occurred. Lobo presented on the requirements in industry standards and the need to avoid unnecessary prescriptive provisions. He discussed options of evolving toward performance-based specifications and provided NRMCA documents that were resources to designers to change their specifications.

Pat Harrison with SSI discussed the requirements for successful interior slab on grade construction in terms of having adequate mix water, paste content, aggregate size distribution and other aspects of placing and finishing floors for a wide range of project needs. 
The session concluded with a panel discussion that included a general contractor and owner/developer. There was good participation from the audience during this discussion session.

The Washington Aggregates & Concrete Association (WACA) hosted its annual winter workshop last week in Tacoma, WA; the main focus of the meeting was the movement toward Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in the green building marketplace, reports NRMCA Senior Vice President of Sustainable Development Lionel Lemay who attended the meeting. WACA Executive Director Bruce Chattin assembled a group of speakers representing the academic, design, construction and manufacturing communities to lay out the new requirements for material reporting in LEED v4, including EPDs. Kate Simonen of the University of Washington described the EPD process. Don Davies, a structural engineer with Magnusson Klemencic & Associates, described how the design community will use the information described in EPDs to make informed decisions on structural materials. Jeff Davis of Central Concrete, the first concrete company in North America to verify an EPD, described how it is leveraging its EPD and other sustainability initiatives into a market advantage in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Lemay described the business case for moving toward reporting environmental impacts through EPDs and other reports required in LEED v4, including Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports and Health Product Declarations (HPDs). He also described the many programs and tools available to concrete producers to help meet these new requirements, including the NRMCA EPD Program.
