American Concrete Institute
Trade group wins recognition for distinguished achievement
The Colorado Ready Mixed Concrete Association (CRMCA) has been honored with a Distinguished Achievement Award from the American Concrete Institute.

CRMCA is being recognized for advancing the concrete industry through education, certification, and the promotion of innovative uses of concrete throughout Colorado.

The group’s activities emphasize education, product promotion, safety, and technical assistance, and it is active and fully engaged in the promotion of new and exciting uses of concrete. Through its promotion of insulated concrete forms for energy-efficient homes, CRMCA highlights the advantages of using colored and stamped concrete for residential and commercial markets. The organization also took an active role in finding a suitable site for Colorado’s first pervious pavement project.

The ACI Distinguished Achievement Award is presented to nonmember individuals or associations that have made notable contributions to the advancement of the concrete industry. Recipients must reside in the region of the Institute’s conventions. CRMCA managing director Paul Schauer accepted the award at the ACI Fall 2006 Convention in Denver.
