Discover concrete technology's new solutions for today's important challenges.
The most frequent request for assistance has been help on developing more sustainable and environmentally sensitive building practices. Pervious concrete pavement has been of particular interest because of the related "green" characteristics and economic advantages. Many accounts have benefited as well from the outstanding environmental attributes of "conventional" concrete applications including strong support for LEED projects. Other frequent areas of interest include self-consolidating and other high-performance concrete solutions as well as insulated concrete forms and tilt-up concrete applications.

Learn about the newest concrete solutions for sustainability.
We're your connection to pervious concrete and other "green" concrete solutions.
Concrete's environmentally-friendly features make it the building material of choice for sustainability.... meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Concrete Resource Team can connect you to the information you need to meet ever-increasing demands for sustainable development.
Pervious Concrete: When it rains, it drains.
Pervious concrete pavement has a 15-25% void structure, allowing 3-8 gallons of water per minute to pass through each square foot. When it rains, pervious drains, putting water back in the ground where it belongs. The Concrete Resource Team can bring you up to speed on this critical application.
Concrete is LEED®—Friendly and more.
Concrete offers opportunities for owners, architects, engineers, and contractors to maximize credits offered by the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) New Construction standard. LEED is the set of green building specifications being adopted by a significant and growing number of municipal governments and large developers. The Concrete Resource Team can put you in the LEED on this important sustainability issue.
Concrete offers other environmentally friendly features, including a lighter color which reduces heat-island effects, its application in green-rooftops, recycling benefits and more. The Concrete Resource Team can arm you with the information you need to make sustainable choices.
