Titan America’s two cement campuses were recognized for energy and environmental performances at the Portland Cement Association’s annual Cement Fly-In held in Washington, D.C. Every year cement industry leaders meet with legislators and honor outstanding achievement by PCA members during the event.
“Very few things in life are more satisfying than having your teams honored by the industry for a job well done,” said Zaklina Stamboliska, vice president of cement manufacturing at Titan America. “Now two years running, our Pennsuco and RCC plants have been recognized as innovative leaders and ambassadors for the industry and its efforts to achieve energy savings and other efficiencies previously unimaginable.”
The Pennsuco facility in Medley, Fla., once again won in PCA’s Innovative Technologies category, which recognizes novel applications relevant to environmental protection and energy efficiency. This year, Pennsuco embarked on a strength prediction optimization project using AI with a multi-discipline team, consisting of data scientists, programmers, AI specialists, and production and quality control experts.
Titan America’s Roanoke Cement Co. in Troutville, Va., won in the Outreach category for its activities in enhancing community, employee and government relations. RCC utilized multiple outreach platforms to communicate its environmental partnering, community events, employee-focused activities, government recognition and awards for achievement from third parties. Last year, the facility won in the Energy Efficiency category.
