How light can concrete get?

In this episode, we’ll explore the fascinating world of cellular concrete. What is it? How does it differ from traditional concrete? And why can’t you just call your local ready-mix guy and ask for a truckload?

Kirk will guide us through the complexities of this specialty concrete, its unique properties, and the innovative techniques used to create it.

We’ll also discuss the guidelines and standards that govern its use, and why a 50 PSI might make a structural engineer balk, but is a game-changer in the world of cellular concrete.

So, if you’ve ever wondered about the future of concrete, or just want to learn about a cool new construction material, this episode is for you.

Tune in to the Concrete Logic Podcast and let’s explore the future of concrete together.
