US: The Slag Cement Association (SCA) has presented its 2017 Project of the Year Awards at the American Concrete Institution (ACI) Convention in Salt Lake City in late March 2018. Each project was selected by the SCA’s Technical Marketing Committee because of its exemplary and innovative uses of slag cement in concrete mix design. Nine awards were presented in categories for architecture, durability, green design, performance, innovative application and sustainability. Member companies involved in the winning applications included Lehigh Hanson, LafargeHolcim, Votorantim St Marys Cement, Ash Grove Cement, Skyway Cement Company and Argos USA.
“The SCA’s awards program does a great job of showcasing how versatile slag cement can be, and how it can help create stronger, more durable and sustainable concrete structures,” said Ed Griffith, president of the SCA.
