Winner of the Tenth Annual ACI Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards utilizes #lightweight concrete to reduce the carbon footprint. Repair and Restoration, Second Place One Wall Street, New York, NY, USA Owner: Macklowe Properties Architectural Firm: SLCE Architects Engineering Firm: DeSimone Consulting Engineering General Contractor: J.T. Magen & Company Inc. Concrete Contractor: Broad Construction Concrete Supplier: U.S. Concrete, Inc. New York Other: Broad Construction; Domani Inspections Services, Inc.; and Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. "The One Wall Street project, the largest office-to-condominium conversion in New York, NY, transformed a historic office building into 566 residential units and a retail space, incorporating six additional floors atop the original structure. This adaptive reuse involved integrating new concrete construction with the existing steel frame, using voided concrete slabs to reduce weight and support new additions while preserving the building’s historic aesthetic. The approach minimized the thickness of the supporting transfer slab at the 30th floor, reduced the need to reinforce existing columns, achieved the desired residential floor-to-floor heights, and helped meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver sustainability goals. The project demonstrated sustainable practices by minimizing demolition waste, reducing the carbon footprint with lightweight concrete, and providing much-needed housing in a commercial area."

Technical Marketing Consultant & Sales Team Leader in the Building Materials Industry.
Note the non-interconnected pore spaces within these individual pieces of the expanded shale, clay and slate lightweight aggregate (LWA). This is where the magic begins with #ESCSI LWAs!
What concrete nerds do on weekends: examine the rough, open texture of lightweight aggregates within a sample. Also known as testing out a cheapo microscope from Amazon.
