Ozinga Mission Critical
Reducing Embodied Carbon with Custom Mix Designs
Every project is unique with its own specifications and goals. Ozinga Mission Critical works to develop custom mix designs that reduce embodied carbon using our innovative CarbonSense® family of sustainable building materials.
Development and Testing Expertise
Testing and product development takes place in Ozinga’s AASHTO and CCRL certified research and development lab. As the project develops, Ozinga will make sure the mix design is optimized for performance and durability.
Project Consulting and Partnership
Our sustainability professionals and project consultants will support every phase of your project, from evaluation to reliable on-the-ground operations and equipment.
Material Service Anywhere
With access to local materials and an extensive logistics network, Ozinga provides reliable production through mobile concrete plants on or near your jobsite. With concrete available anywhere, large volume projects can stay on schedule, even in remote locations.
