(Green Bay, Wis.) Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) Director Marty Piette, A.A.E. will be a panelist at the 15th annual Airports Going Green Conference, Nov. 14-16 in Chicago. Piette will join other international airport leaders and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials on Tuesday, Nov. 15 on the panel “Water Conservation & Stewardship.”
The panel will discuss climate change effects on water resources that challenge existing infrastructure and operations around the world, with panelists sharing water conservation strategies that helped them provide social, environmental, and economic benefits to their communities. Earlier this year, GRB received the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard, becoming the first airport in the world to be certified for responsible water management and stewardship.
“The GRB team continues to be incredibly proud of the AWS certification, so I’m honored to represent our team at the Going Green Conference and join airport leaders from around the world in this important conversation,” said Piette. “Our goal is to continually improve water quality in Northeast Wisconsin, so I encourage community stakeholders to join us in our Water Stewardship Strategy.”
Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach stated that GRB’s efforts are notable and he’s supportive of sharing the approach and the work that’s been done at the airport. “Water quality is a top priority for Brown County and GRB is playing an important role in our long-term goal of protecting our natural resources through good water stewardship.”
Airports Going Green® (AGG) is the aviation industry’s leading forum on sustainability led by the Chicago Department of Aviation and co-hosted by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE). GRB received Honorable Mention for Outstanding Sustainability Program from the Chicago Department of Aviation and Airports Going Green Judging Committee in October and will be recognized at the AGG Conference on Nov. 15.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
