Industry Critical Technologies

Industry Critical Technologies (ICTs) have completed a TMC review and have been determined to meet the criteria that includes the following:
 a. Concrete industry competitiveness
 b. Financial impact on/for the concrete industry
 c. Breadth of industry & SDC membership effect
 d. Immediacy/urgency
 e. Sustainability factor – environmental/”green”
 f. Quality issues

ICTs and issues have been deemed “critical” to the industry and typically have strong and broad support from SDC members, from among whom a champion is identified. The champion, together with interested SDC members, forms an Accelerating Implementation Team to identify those barriers that are restraining or obstructing the timely acceptance of the ICT or “resolution of the industry critical issue.” The Accelerating Implementation Team develops strategies and tactics to remove barriers or address issues identified. Such strategies/tactics can involve interacting with ACI and its technical committees, involving other Standard Developing Organizations, or independent actions by SDC. ICTs receive the full support of SDC’s resources in advancing the technology or issue.
