NRMCA, Build With Strength Represent Concrete Industry at Structural Engineering Summit

The National Council of Structural Engineering Associations (NCSEA) recently hosted its annual structural engineering summit in Anaheim, CA. Because structural engineers are the direct specifiers of concrete materials, Build With Strength (BWS) continues to prioritize collaboration with them by offering educational and design assistance resources, said NRMCA Director, Building Innovations, Brandon Wray who attended the event (seen here at center in light shirt) with his colleagues Tiffany Reed-Villarreal and Julian Mills-Beale. BWS exhibited and sponsored the Summit in order to connect with the 950 designer attendees, making them aware of where the ready mixed concrete industry is now and is headed.

The event had a strong emphasis on the need for resilient considerations in design beyond standard life safety measures as well as the alignment of sustainably-minded design decisions. Following the event, Wray noted that “sustainability and resiliency are inextricably connected and are both vital in ensuring design decisions yield efficient projects.”

In a continual effort to represent the ready mixed concrete industry, Build With Strength acts as a consulting resource for designers when integrating resilient and sustainable concrete strategies into projects nationwide.
