How can we reduce carbon in pre-cast concrete? Yesterday we co-hosted a round table to explore this challenge. Alongside Kier Construction, we gathered a group of specialists from the DfMA precast concrete construction industry and wider MMC, concrete, and built environment carbon reduction groups to collaboratively explore and promote strategies for reducing the embodied carbon in large scale future construction projects. The discussion was expertly led by Elaine Toogood, from the The Concrete Centre and our outcome was an agreed action plan with clear next steps on implementing carbon reduction measures, working collaboratively with all stakeholders to share initiatives which will contribute to achieving net zero targets. We’d like to thank our guests for their contributions to what was an engaging and fascinating conversation: -???????Jamie Hillier - Akerlof -???????Andrew Dewdney - Kier Construction -???????Simon Harold - PCE Limited -???????Chris McReynolds - PCE Limited -???????Derek Russell - Techrete UK & Ireland -???????Simon Hewitt - FORTERRA CONCRETE INDUSTRIES, INC -???????Andrew Rolf - Mott MacDonald -???????Dan Evans - Curtins -???????Alexander Lorincz - Curtins -???????Michael Samways - Accelar Limited -???????Mark Shepherd - MPA Precast and MPA Masonry -???????Steve N., MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre -???????Dr. Verónica Torres de Sande, MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre -???????Mike Cribb - Arup We’ll be keeping the conversation going by sharing our insights and takeaways from the session, so watch this space.

Roundabouts, which provide safer and more efficient crossovers compared to standard intersections, are being built more often in contemporary traffic management systems. Their circular design allows for continuous traffic movement, reducing wait times and the chance of severe mishaps.

We, at Concrete Ontario, are following the construction of Canada’s largest Beyond Net Zero building, in Aurora -ON. Using Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) construction allows for #lowcarbon construction and operation. We’ll see more updates as construction moves along! In the picture below, how construction is now, and what it will look like once finished.

Having executed more than a dozen booths, here are my #tradeshow rules of success: 1) Lead capture is best conducted as a contest between the most competitive group in your organization: Sales. Make it fun and incentivize with giveaways and bragging rights so they are motivated to engage and not be lurkers. 2) A lead isn't a lead until it's married to a kick-ass automation sequence getting prospects to the right location with the right information and the right person to answer their questions. On average, an attendee might scan their badge 30-50 times so how do you make it easy to remember you? Make their lives easier. 3) Train your team on how to scan and assign the leads with your scanning software BEFORE they arrive to the show. Organize in simple terms so they can move quickly and position high-intent scans vs. those seeking more information. Use videos or quick video calls so when they arrive, it's recap vs. a crash course. This saves a ton of time in post-show follow-ups too! 4) The best show booths tell a story that articulates to a customer why you best answer their challenges - dumping all your products into a confined space isn't impressive, it's confusing. Imagine a catalog with zero organization... 5) Booth planners - pay the extra cash and pad your floors. The number of poor team members I see hobbling around the convention center is all the proof you need to take care of your team. 6) The show is just the beginning - exhale, recap and quickly get to work extending your booth's message into other channels so attendees remember your brand and convert!

Calcined clay is an exciting emerging material that offers a lower carbon footprint when replacing cement in the production of concrete. So, what is calcined clay? And how is it used in our transport infrastructure projects? Hear from industry leader and former MRPV Senior Manager, Sustainable Infrastructure Rhys Owen-Roberts to find out more ???? As part of the Mickleham Road Upgrade – Stage 1, Major Road Projects Victoria trialled calcined clay which replaced 30% of the cement in the concrete. The final concrete mix used on the project was calculated to have 25% lower carbon emissions compared to typical GP cement. Undertaking this trial on our project has been a huge collaborative effort with our Contractor BMD Group, Technical Advisor Arup, University of Melbourne and Heidelberg Materials. We can’t wait to see calcined clay used on more projects in 2025, as the industry continues to support Victoria’s journey to net zero carbon emissions by 2045. #Roads #Construction #Infrastructure #Environmental #CarbonFootprint Hume City Council
