The NRMCA’s Concrete Design Center can assist you in choosing the right concrete solution for a wide variety of projects, from multi-family residential/mixed use to industrial and health care facilities.
Connecticut Concrete Promotion Council 's Executive Director Dominic Di Cenzo comments,” The Connecticut Ready Mixed Concrete Association has an arsenal of tools to assist Connecticut construction specifiers and those involved with the design and engineering of multi-story buildings, commercial office buildings and infrastructure. The Design Center is a free tool that allows architects and engineers to submit projects to verify various project specifications such as structural design, noise reduction, fire resistance and sustainability. The NRMCA’s Concrete Design Center is staffed with an expert team of engineers and architects that are available to run cost analyses of projects using concrete versus alternative construction materials. They will also help specifiers select the most appropriate concrete system for concrete frame and post-tension systems, voided slab systems, insulating concrete forming (ICF), and tilt-up concrete wall constructions.”
Don Penepent, of Tilcon Connecticut and Co-Chair of the CRMCA’s Education Committee says, “Design, architecture and engineering firms should take advantage of the Build with Strength Concrete Design Center. The Design Center is FREE concrete project design and technical assistance available through the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s Build with Strength web site. The Design Center can assist design professionals in choosing the right concrete solution for a wide variety of projects, from multi-family residential/mixed use, to industrial and health care facilities.”
Build with Strength is a coalition of architects, builders, engineers, emergency services personnel and policymakers supported by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association. Their mission is to educate the building and design communities and policymakers on the benefits of ready mixed concrete, and encourage its use as the building material of choice for low- to mid-rise structures. No other material can replicate concrete’s advantages in terms of strength, durability, safety, ease of use, and long-term value.
