€3,000 worth of low carbon concrete up for grabs

Entry is free and is open to any project on the island of Ireland. The prize can be won by the client, engineer, architect or contractor working on the building.

Ecocem's low carbon concrete features ground granulated blastfurnace slag, which is produced from a byproduct of steel or iron production. This means its carbon footprint is much lower than traditional portland cement, which has its own dedicated manufacturing process.

The concrete will contain a minimum of 50% Ecocem GGBS cement.

The closing date for entries is 25 February 2013. To enter the competition, complete an entry form at lowcarbonconcrete.ie/competition. Full terms and conditions, and closing dates, are listed on the competition website. For any questions please contact David O’Flynn at This email address is being protected from spambots.
