US: Holcim US won a National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) Concrete Innovations Award for its contributions to the Lower Carbon Content Concrete Pavement MnROAD project in Minnesota. The producer supplied its reduced-CO2 ECOPact ready-mix concrete.
Holcim US North Central Regional Senior Vice President and General Manager Randy Gaworski said "Our ECOPact low-carbon concrete mix included Portland limestone cement (PLC), slag cement, fly ash and other materials to reduce total cementitious materials, achieving a mix with less than 50% clinker content. This innovative approach demonstrates the ability to reduce carbon content in construction materials with no compromise on performance."
Holcim also received nominations for its supply of its Ductal Ultra-High Performance Concrete for the Delaware Memorial Bridge overlay project in Delaware/New Jersey and its supply of its Agileflow ultra-lightweight concrete mix for the Babcock Street Outfall Project in Buffalo, New York.
