How can the Graniterock concrete team help owners align with their enviromental values?
Aug 26, 2022 Season 3 Episode 46
Graniterock

More and more project owners want their buildings and infrastructure to align with their environmental values.
So that means they want construction materials made with sustainable, low-carbon ingredients.
On its face, traditional concrete with Portland cement is not the earth-friendliest material around as cement is very energy-intensive to produce, but much work and innovation have gone into changing that.

We brought in some of the Graniterock concrete team to talk about low-carbon mix designs and the evolution of sustainable building. 

Marketing Director Keith Severson hosts this show.
Guests:
Mike McGrath (Concrete Business Manager)
Zack Booth (Concrete Sales Manager)
Max Morgan (Concrete Sales Representative)

What we are chatting about?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) 
Cement replacement (Fly Ash, Slag, Pozzolan)
Locally sourced aggregates (A.R. Wilson Quarry)
Pervious concrete (Beyond the mix, Recharging the underground aquifer)
Verifi (Quality control on mixers, making Graniterock more consistent)
