The risks associated with producing and building with bad concrete has cost the world billions of dollars in resources.
We are a McMinnville, Oregon based group who is pushing to strengthen the concrete supply chains in countries like Turkey.

Even in the Northwest where we are blessed with strong concrete infrastructure we struggle to find ways to fix the problems of past construction issues. We hope that the warnings of earthquake probability will help us all find a way to make structures more sustainable.
