The National Precast Concrete Association is excited to exhibit at World of Concrete (North Hall, Booth N1348) Jan. 22-26 and offer two educational sessions covering residential precast construction and jointed precast concrete pavement.
Education Session – Rapid Highway Repairs with Precast Concrete Jointed Pavement Systems
Date: Thursday, Jan. 25
Time: 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Cost: Free
Presenter: Shiraz Tayabji, President, Advanced Concrete Pavement Consultancy LLC
Audience: Contractors, DOT personnel, highway engineers
Organizing and managing a precast concrete pavement project to achieve a high-quality installation requires a thorough understanding of the processes required to install the selected system. That understanding must reside first with the contractor’s project managers, who are then responsible for transferring their knowledge of the system – including any unique fabrication and field installation details – to the owner/agency staff and to the contractor fabrication and installation crews.
This course will use various case studies from throughout North America to demonstrate the various uses of jointed precast concrete pavement slabs. Guidelines for design, fabrication, installation and selection criteria of pavement slab systems will be discussed.
To attend this free course, fill out our simple registration form. Please note that you must also be registered for the World of Concrete trade show to attend the session. Use this link to obtain a discounted registration of $50 (offer expires Jan. 11, 2018).
Education Session – Precast in Residential Construction: Enhancing Speed & Quality
Date: Monday, Jan. 22
Time: 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.
Cost: $135
Presenter: Claude Goguen, P.E., LEED AP, National Precast Concrete Association
Audience: Contractors, manufacturers, developers, engineers
This session will examine how precast concrete structures can be used in residential construction to shorten schedules while enhancing quality and resiliency. We will discuss foundation walls to roofs and everything in between that can be made with precast concrete. We will highlight case studies to focus on details of construction. Residential contractors will learn the benefits of adding precast to their product line.
This session is eligible for 1.5 continuing education hours.
