Reviewing a concrete mix design for compliance with building codes and project documents is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of concrete science and engineering. It's not just about checking numbers; it's an art that involves balancing various factors to achieve the desired properties of the concrete. Learn more about this art in this month's Speaking in Code!

Shout out to F&R's Larry Day Jr., Glenn Hargrove, and Jesse Phillips, CIH, CSP, who jumped at the chance to volunteer at a Feeding Southwest Virginia event with the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) - Mountain Valley Chapter yesterday. We're incredibly proud that you dedicated your time to give back to our community. 💗

We're always grateful for the opportunity to support the Chesapeake Bay Foundation! Recently, volunteers from the F&R Richmond office joined forces with CBF and other local companies to plant trees at Byrd Park, coming together to positively impact our community to kick off the season of giving. Our volunteers were guided through a planting demonstration, teaching them the right way to plant trees, which the team said was informative and inspiring. Thanks to CBF for the opportunity and F&R's Sam Proctor, Lucas Powell, Cole Harlow, and Gosia Villafana for their hard work for the cause! #FandR #CBF #Community #Partnership
