Last week, NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Patrick Matsche and his colleague Don Clem, Vice President, Local Paving, presented Top Ten Ways to Achieve Low Carbon Concrete to Seattle-based LPD Engineering. LPD Engineering is the design engineer for a new electric bus facility which will include a large concrete parking lot. The project architect and contractor also attended. NRMCA is assisting LDP Engineering in designing the concrete pavement, as well as exploring ways to minimize the carbon footprint of the concrete mix, to meet King County environmental goals.
Antara Choudhary, market development manager, Northwest Cement Council, also attended and provided background on her work on type 1L cement while working on her PHD at Oregon State University.
