NEU Announces Second Low-Carbon Concrete Certificate Program
A new certificate program, Low-Carbon Concrete: Fundamentals, Materials, and Innovations, is now available from NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete and ACI University. This program aims to provide the knowledge needed to understand the carbon footprints of concrete and cement, their lifecycle stages, and key strategies for reducing concrete’s carbon emissions, with particular emphasis on material selection considerations. The program delivers thorough info and guidance on choosing low-carbon alternatives for both portland cement binder and other nonbinder materials, including their sources, properties, performance, carbon reduction benefits, limitations, and availability. It also introduces advanced design strategies for producing and placing low-carbon concrete, addresses key implementation challenges, and highlights specification and verification needs. It closely follows the topics in NEU’s publication, The Low-Carbon Concrete Guide: Materials. Register at: https://bit.ly/4hvvZXm.
Atlantic Builders Supply using Nudura’s Pre-cut Program
Labor shortages continue to impact the construction industry as contractors face tighter schedules, reduced crew availability and increasing pressure to improve jobsite efficiency. The Nudura ICF PreCut Program is a BIM-modeled, factory-precision solution designed to reduce labor demands, minimize waste and improve overall project coordination. As the premier Nudura distributor in New England, Atlantic Builders Supply works directly with contractors, builders, and project teams to help determine project-specific PreCut requirements, coordinate orders, and ensure timely product delivery to the jobsite. The Nudura PreCut Program builds upon the inherent advantages of ICFs by shifting much of the measuring, layout, and cutting process into the manufacturing environment. Using BIM modeling and digitally coordinated layouts, wall lengths, corners, and window and door openings are resolved before the material ships, allowing forms to arrive pre-measured, pre-labeled, and ready for installation. The result is improved project coordination and a streamlined installation process that reduces field labor while improving schedule predictability.
