Meet Þorbjörg
The concrete nerd
I often say that I never left the sandbox phase.
Þorbjörg Hólmgeirsdóttir
Concrete expert - and passionate sand and gravel connoisseur
Not all concrete is created equal. It all comes down to the sand and gravel used to make it. Concrete INGENØRD Þorbjörg Hólmgeirsdóttir is here to share her burning passion for the underappreciated duo keeping construction from crumbling – a passion so intense that one of her best professional memories is attending a two-day conference entirely on sand and gravel.
Watch the video to find out why sand and gravel really rock (see what we did there?).
INGENØRD [enɕəˈnɶɐ̯ˀd]: An honorary title for people who enjoy immersing themselves in professional or personal passions, a trait that can generate a never-ending train of thought or result in constant attempts to discover connections and solve problems – which often leads to heated conversations with other 'ingenørds'. Often, but not necessarily, they have a degree in engineering.
