To support ACI’s expanding focus on technology and innovation, the CIC collaborates with the concrete community and ACI's Director of Concrete Technology to examine and support innovative solutions for industry-wide challenges. The council is comprised of a diverse set of industry representatives - material suppliers, architecture & engineering firms, contractors, academics, owners and regulatory organizations.
The field of concrete materials, building, and structures is continually infused with new ideas and practices. New materials, products, methods, designs, and equipment impact the way infrastructure and buildings are constructed. Do you have a transformative idea or initiative that can positively impact the industry?
- Guide for Innovators
- Introduce Your Technology Application
The ACI Foundation’s Guide for Innovators can benefit anyone seeking to offer a new technology/innovation to the industry, inventors who need help in determining what level their technology is and path to acceptance/use, and ACI or Industry Members who want to highlight a need or a solution to an existing need in the industry.
This free downloadable document was created to inform ACI members and the industry about the ACI Foundation’s Concrete Innovation Council and what actions the Foundation might take when supporting a new technology or innovation.
Do you have a technology that you want to introduce? The CIC works closely with ACI’s Director of Innovative Concrete Technology to create a formal connection between Council work and ACI. The CIC also strives to collaborate with the concrete industry at large.
