Low Carbon Concrete

Ready to Use Scalable Solutions!

The production and use of concrete contributes to about 7% of global carbon emissions. This is largely due to the carbon emissions in the production of Portland Cement. We will be looking at currently available practical options to significantly reduce or eliminate the use of Portland Cement in concrete.  We will particularly focus on how to scale up options that greatly reduce carbon emissions. This meeting will also include a tour of the recent 3d printing of low carbon concrete & the equipment used for it, by the Cement & Mason’s Union Apprentice program at SSCC.

David Landry

David is passionate about advancing green building practices and improving the durability, efficiency, and aesthetics of the built environment—recognizing its profound impact on human well-being.

With over 30 years of experience in the construction industry, David is a leader in chemical formulation and green building product development. David manages Chemicals and Powders at MASCO, where he has developed and manufactured more than 30 products over the past 15 years. The current surge in lower-carbon cements entering the market is positioning us with incredible opportunities to make concrete the most sustainable, durable, and versatile building material ever created.

The current surge in lower-carbon cements entering the market is, in his words, “an exhilarating firehose.” David acknowledges the challenges these developments pose for the concrete industry, while recognizing the extraordinary opportunities they present:

“It is indeed creating some headaches for everyone in the concrete industry, but it is simultaneously positioning us with incredible opportunities to make concrete the most sustainable, durable, and versatile building material ever created. If we can’t match or exceed the durability of Roman concrete, we must rethink our fundamentals.”

Principal, Owner at SKAPA Landscape

She is a visionary leader in the application of sustainable and innovative technologies to landscape designs. She is one of the pioneers in the use of 3D printing for hardscapes that provide a wide range of sustainability enhancements.

SKAPA, PLLC is a fresh new vision for a landscape architecture studio. As a woman owned business in the construction industry, we look forward to meeting today’s challenges differently.

By integrating new technology and encouraging different professional backgrounds to apply, we believe our team will be able to adapt to changes in the industry more rapidly and service more types of projects faster. Our ability to integrate sustainability and new technology into our design process will enhance our ability to design and we are excited to explore this with our clients and partners. We will strive to integrate sustainability into our practice in a truly meaningful and measurable way.

SKAPA does not focus on a particular project type or have a particular design model – SKAPA means to do something differently, to engineer, build, and be creative!
