ACTIVITIES
The Cement Council of Texas acts as a technical resource for designers,
specifiers, and constructors on cement and concrete subjects with
its professional engineering staff and other experts. It provides
assistance in the proper applications of these products in all aspects
of design and construction.
In addition to it's own staff, the Council's resources
include the Portland Cement Association, the National Ready Mixed
Concrete Association, the American Concrete Paving Association,
the American Concrete Institute, the Concrete Foundations Association
colleges & universities, and other professional groups.
The Cement Council of Texas has committed to the promotion of
Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF). Focusing on this effort, the Council
has developed "regional" committees in Austin,
Corpus Christi, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio
and the greater Rio Grande Valley. These committees act as a means
of communication, education and promotion of ICFs in these regions,
and to provide technical support for anyone interested in the use
of ICFs.
In an effort to provide support for this growth industry, the Cement
Council of Texas and PCA also, provide the construction industry
with support for conventional concrete forming. This new system
allows production builders the opportunity to provide all the benefits
of ICFs at a affordable price.
The Cement Council of Texas coordinates these efforts and acts
as the clearinghouse for information and data collection.
Current areas of focus include:
Data gathering of:
- the ICF and panel systems available in Texas
- builders & installers of ICF and panel systems in Texas
- architects who design concrete homes
- energy & insurance savings
- energy-efficient mortgages (EEMs)
- testimonials from ICF and paneled home and commercial owners
- concrete home projects in Texas
