ON THIS EPISODE OF THE CONCRETE LOGIC PODCAST

The concrete industry spent the last few years blaming Type IL cement for almost everything.

Cracking. Scaling. Low breaks. Slow set times. Higher water demand.

So what happens when the “bad guy” leaves the room and the same concrete problems are still standing there?

Rich Szecsy joins the show to explain what he is seeing in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, why cement suppliers are shifting, and why this move back to Type I/II may expose an uncomfortable truth.
