The focus on sustainability continues to grow, leading construction professionals to increasingly choose long-lasting building materials, such as concrete. As an industry leader, County Materials is committed to delivering sustainable concrete solutions.
This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the innovation of our industry and the resilience, durability, and sustainability of concrete.
Resilience, Durability, and Generations of Service
According to the American Concrete Pipe Association, concrete is one of the most sustainable infrastructure materials available. Designed for a service life up to 100 years, concrete delivers the lasting performance needed to build stronger, safer communities.
Concrete withstands harsh weather conditions, ultraviolet radiation, freeze-thaw cycles, rust, abrasion, and more without compromising structural integrity. Its strength and resilience ensure structures last for generations with minimal repairs, thereby helping reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
Responsible Production
Concrete is manufactured using cement, water, and aggregates. At the end of its service life, it can be crushed and repurposed for a variety of applications or recycled into new concrete products. Additionally, County Materials sources aggregates from local quarries, minimizing the fossil fuels consumed during transportation.
For over 80 years, our concrete products have been trusted by construction professionals to build the infrastructure where Americans live, work, and play. We’re proud to deliver high-quality, sustainable concrete construction materials that serve our customers long after installation.
Together, we’re building a company that hardworking people are proud to work for, live near, and do business with since 1946.
