On today's episode of Concrete Logic, we welcome Stephanie Hampton to the show. Stephanie is a Senior Technical Sales Engineer with Lehigh Hanson, one of the largest producers of cement in the world. Lehigh Hanson is pursuing carbon neutrality by 2050 and is a leading proponent of utilizing Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) to achieve this ambitious goal.

If you don't know what Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) is, this is the episode for you! Stephanie shares what the difference is between PLC and normal Portland Cement along with the environmental benefits of using PLC.

In today’s episode of the Concrete Logic podcast, we are lucky to have Jessica Wilson and Doug Clark of CarbonCure. CarbonCure is a technology that injects carbon dioxide into ready-concrete. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important heat-trapping (greenhouse) gas, which is released through human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels and natural processes such as respiration and volcanic eruptions. It's also used to carbonate soft drinks and beer!

The purpose of CarbonCure (injecting CO2in concrete) is to offset the Carbon footprint of cement used in concrete as a tool to compete in our new world of carbon credit construction. Think of it as making the concrete "green" or more environmentally friendly.

Listen to the podcast and learn more about this new concrete technology!

On today’s episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, our guest is Garrett Braun, a structural engineer. Garrett is the founder of Blue Nest Structural. We discussed what it’s like to open a new firm in the last year, how far the design of projects is by the time his engineering group gets involved, why do engineers not consider changing materials in concrete mix designs, and why buildings are not designed with more concrete.
