P+Ex Expands Global Outreach
P+Ex is broadening its impact by engaging a wider audience to emphasize the critical role of…
Preserve.
Extend.
“In reality, the most sustainable, low-carbon concrete structure is often the one already built.”
Protect Our Future.
“Once a concrete structure is built, it can stay in service indefinitely, if it is well-maintained, and the embodied energy from its original construction will serve generations.”
Preserving and extending the life of concrete structures reduces carbon footprint, lowers resource consumption, and minimizes financial and social impact.
