SCA Award Program Information

The Slag Cement Association (SCA) has been honoring the exceptional use of slag cement in concrete construction since 2010 with the Slag Cement Project of the Year Awards.  The 2018 awards ceremony took place at the ACI Spring Convention in Quebec City, Canada on Wednesday, March 28^th, 2019 during the session “Slag Cement in Durable Concrete”. SCA representatives presented the awards to winning teams in attendance and gave an overview of each project to session attendees. Research award winners were able to give a 10 minute presentation on their projects to attendees. 

 “The SCA awards program has always been focused on honoring the innovative use of slag cement in durable concrete. Adding this research category to the lineup has been a great way to expand that concept while getting students involved.”
