A groundbreaking ceremony was held last week at Roanoke Cement Company’s Chesapeake Terminal near Norfolk, Virginia. Council members, other state and local officials, and RCC team members gathered to launch a new $40 million storage dome. In response to increasing demand for low carbon cement, the storage dome at the terminal will provide an additional 70,000 tons of capacity, tripling the existing storage.

On Sept. 20, the Portland Cement Association, which represents the majority of U.S. cement production, held a New York Climate Week seminar and panel discussion in conjunction with the Global Cement and Concrete Association, with Selwin Hart, Special Advisor to the U.N. Secretary General for Climate Action and Just Transition, as keynote speaker. The event marked the one-year anniversaries of both PCA’s and GCCA’s roadmaps to carbon neutrality by 2050.

Every day, people live and work in buildings solidified by concrete foundations without recognizing the potential that material has in not only creating a more sustainable industry, but a more sustainable world.

The Portland Cement Association (PCA) announced its Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality, an ambitious journey to carbon neutrality across the cement and concrete value chain by 2050. 

Global gypsum demand is likely to recover in tandem with broader recovery in the construction sector, according to a new market intelligence study. 

The Portland Cement Association (PCA) released its annual Fall Forecast which predicts a modest decrease in cement consumption during 2020 and 2021. 

The second annual Stucco LIVE! will continue to showcase best practices for flashing, lathing, and cement plaster applications for residential and commercial installations at World of Concrete.

Since 1987, Capital City Stucco has been an important advocate to exterior plastering and insulating systems from its home base in Canton, Ga., and beyond.

I’ve been using natural cements and natural hydraulic limes in the traditional plastering craft for many years. However, I never had the opportunity to visit a quarry where the unique limestones used to produce them are mined.
