Hey, I’m Camille Faatz.

About Me

Hello! My name is Camille, and my best friend calls me a ‘concretarian’ – I’m a concrete nerd. I played rugby and studied civil engineering at Colorado School of Mines

With such a broad range of possible specializations, it wasn’t until senior year that I finally found my niche in concrete. Hands-on cementitious materials classes as well as my experience during Concrete Canoe built and cemented my interest.

Since then, I’ve been taking and making opportunities (my projects) to learn as much as I can about the material and industry. I’m especially interested in the many different properties that can be achieved with concrete, including lessening its environmental impact in the fast pace of the ready mix industry.

My name is

Camille Faatz.

I think concrete is really cool.

Bio: I started at Mines with an environmental focus, but switched to civil engineering with the guidance of my environmental professor. And boy, am I grateful! Though I felt lost on what to focus on until my senior year, I finally found my niche in concrete. Hands-on cementitious materials classes as well as my experience with Concrete Canoe built and cemented my interest. Since then, I’ve been taking and making opportunities (my projects) to learn as much as I can about the material and industry. I’m especially interested in the many different properties that can be achieved with concrete, including making it more sustainable in the fast pace of the ready mix industry.

My Experience

Some of my projects:

Geopolymer Research

Designed experiments to create different-strength mixtures of cement and mine tailings. The mixtures will help to predict the long-term performance and durability of geopolymers.

Excel • Data analysis • Communication

MoistureCalc

An app to assist with aggregate burn test calculations. Can also calculate concrete mix adjustments on-the-go. Produced by me, developed by my brother. More user-friendly version coming real soon!

Mix design knowledge • Photoshop • C++

Concrete Pips

Designed custom high-strength concrete game pieces using local materials. Ran trials on mixes, color, marbling technique, vibration, form material, and curing.

Mix design • Research & Development

These are a few of my favorite things:
