OUR MISSION
Fostering Innovation
& Growth
Since its maiden voyage in 2013, UBC Concrete Canoe has been on a mission to explore the vast world of lightweight concrete. Along the journey, the student-led crew gains complimentary-curricular experience in concrete mix design and construction, naval architecture design, structural analysis, and project management.
The team has pioneered the usage of computational fluid dynamics in hull design and explored the realm of lightweight aggregates, designing concrete that floats on water.
UBC Concrete Canoe won the 2021 Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition and the 2022 American Society of Civil Engineers Pacific Northwest Regional competition.
The crew endeavours to continue to win competitions through innovation and research while discovering the treasures of life-long friends and the joy of learning.
