Brian and Simon talk with Dylan Viviers, National Specification Manager of Holcim who has played a pivotal role in the development of Holcim ECOPact.

Concrete is the most utilized and versatile building material in the world and has been key to human civilization for thousands of years.

Concrete emits 8% of the world's carbon emissions (nearly a quarter of all construction carbon) as of 2023.

FACT; Rome's famed Pantheon, which has the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome and was dedicated in 128 C.E., is still intact, and some ancient Roman aqueducts still deliver water to Rome today.
