I serve California and Nevada as a part of a non-profit association that provides expert technical recommendations, leadership, research, and educational workshops regarding cement-based paving solutions. The California Nevada Cement Association (CNCA) has a goal to responsibly transform our built environment and improve the lives of the people throughout the region. Cement is a unique construction material with unparalleled characteristics that brings structure and stability to our built environment. Cement, used in the production of concrete creates a construction material with unmatched strength, durability, longevity and as a result of these features, it brings enduring value to the builders and owners of assets built with concrete. Cement solidifies our future and allows us to build the homes, bridges, highways, waterways and countless other items, that the people of California and Nevada depend on every day.CNCA specializes in providing technical leadership for concrete highways, roads, bridges, parking lots, buildings, foundations, as well as concrete pavers, pervious concrete, roller compacted concrete, concrete overlays and concrete pavement restoration. CNCA also has technical expertise in pavement recycling, full-depth reclamation, soil cement, cement modified soil, cement treated base, lightweight cellular concrete, solidification, and brownfield remediation.Through our alliances with the regional engineering community, state & local agencies, and national groups like the MIT CSHub, NRMCA, and PCA we facilitate increased recognition of best-in-class solutions for our sustainable infrastructure.
