The Australasian Pozzolan Association (APozA) would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Joseph Casella for his unwavering support and would like to recognise the outstanding contributions made by this individual to the APozA.

It is with great pride that the APozA present this plaque, mounted in a concrete cylinder that has been crafted implementing Delithiated Beta Spodumene (DBS) as a supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) to Joseph for this outstanding leadership within our association.

As the Chair of APozA, Joseph has been an integral figure in leading our association through many critical periods. In particular, working in conjunction with members, cement & concrete professionals along with accredited laboratories to develop a new Australian Standard AS3582.4 for manufactured SCM’s !

This new Standard,  AS3582.4 Supplementary Cementitious Materials Part 4: Pozzolans – Manufactured, will be complimentary to the existing series AS 3582 Part 1: Fly ash, Part 2: Slag—Ground granulated blast-furnace and Part 3: Amorphous silica.  The Standard uses a similar structure.

Thank you Joseph !
