On August 8, 2024, we hosted guests at our Northbrook headquarters to discuss the challenges and benefits of low-embodied carbon concrete, specifically for use in data center construction. On behalf of our client Open Compute Project (OCP), WJE is testing four low-embodied carbon concrete mixes through a field trial for use in slabs of data centers owned by Amazon Web Services, Google, Meta, and Microsoft.
Watch the video to see how we walked attendees—including representatives from the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Illinois and Michigan Departments of Transportation, and others—through the research and development of the concrete mixes and to learn how we are helping those clients and others navigate these industry changes.
