The Slag Cement Association (SCA) recently unveiled and celebrated the winners of its 2024 Slag Cement in Sustainable Concrete Awards during the spring ACI Concrete Convention in Toronto.
“It was a remarkable turnout for exceptional slag cement projects at this year’s Slag Cement in Sustainable Concrete Awards,” said SCA Membership and Marketing Director Nick Brimley. “It has been inspiring to see SCA’s awards program grow as it continues to celebrate the incredible use of slag cement in concrete construction.”
Fourteen construction projects from across the United States and Canada were chosen to showcase the broad applications of slag cement and its impact on creating more durable and resilient concrete. These construction projects were awarded in six categories. Two slag cement research projects were also honored in this year’s program.
