What is GRC ?
Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (sometimes called Glassfibre Reinforced Cement) is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, water, chemical admixtures and alkali resistant glassfibres. There are a number of different manufacturing processes; the most common are Hand-Spray and Premix. The Alkali Resistant glassfibre is generally used at the 3-5% level in the manufacture of factory finished prefabricated products either by the spray process or using traditional concrete casting methods. It is also used in the 1-2% range for reinforced renders as a site applied mix and can also be used to control plastic shrinkage cracking, microcracking and bleeding of site-cast concrete. Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is a material which today is making a significant contribution to the economics, to the technology and to the aesthetics of the construction industry worldwide. This environmentally friendly composite, with its low consumption of energy and natural raw materials, is being formed into a gr
GRC stands for Gold Rush Champions. The GRC is a volunteer chapter of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) made up of volunteers (puppy raisers, breeder-caretakers, graduates, and volunteers) to support the mission of CCI in the Sacramento foothills region of California, historically known as the Gold Rush area. The GRC holds fund raising events and public relation activities in addition to providing support to each other in our efforts as volunteers for CCI.

Ultimately, GRC is about the integrity of the organization: • Does the organization properly manage and govern? • Does the organization take risk within risk appetite and tolerance thresholds? • Does the organization meet its legal/regulatory compliance obligations? • Does the organization make its code of ethics, policies, and procedures clear to its employees and business partners? The challenge of GRC is that each individual term – governance, risk, and compliance – has varied meanings across the organization. There is corporate governance, IT governance, financial risk, strategic risk, operational risk, IT risk, corporate compliance, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, employment/labor compliance, privacy compliance … the list of mandates and initiatives goes o
