Concrete and Cement are Paramount in Protecting People and Communities
Water Resources Projects and Sea-Level Rise
Employing cement-based geotechnical solutions can improve the resilience of critical infrastructure against an unpredictable climate
Concrete’s strength and durability are protecting against sea-level rise
Lightweight cellular concrete can be used to raise grade without impacts to compressible soil
Coastal lands are strengthened by mixing cement with soils
Concrete barriers are relied on to limit wave action
Cement strengthens levees
Prevents flooding of farmland and cities across CA
Prevents seismic liquefaction andseepage of levees
Protects critical components ofthe State Water Project (SWP) from failure
Cement protects existing dams
Guards against soil erosion by raising dam crests and lining spillways
Employs ground improvement methods to mitigate seismic liquefaction
ABOVE – Cement cut-off wall installation along the San Joaquin River prevents levees from failing during future storms.
ABOVE – Concrete is crucial to protecting the exposed community of Foster City, CA from rising seas .
