On June 17th, we had the privilege to hold our most recent program at the San Diego Division of US Concrete Precast Group’s newly opened 18 acre facility. With over 80,000 SQ FT of indoor manufacturing capacity and the most current equipment technology in the precast industry, this was definitely a site to see. We want to thank Todd Ebbert, Angelo Kolokithas and the entire staff at the US Concrete Precast Group for giving us the opportunity to tour an amazing facility.
In July we will be having Jeff Ferris of Propex Concrete Systems and Bob Waggoner of PNA Construction Technologies discussing ACI 360 and alternatives to steel reinforcement. Please plan on joining us for this program and all other upcoming programs which are listed on the ACI San Diego Chapter website.
As we enter the summer months we have got to ask ourselves where the first six months went, but we have got to also keep in mind the temperatures that will come along with these next three months and prepare ourselves for the Safety of each other and for the Protection of our concrete.
- For the Safety of each other we need to be familiar with ways to beat the heat and to recognize the symptoms of heat-related illness. Please contact your safety representative to refresh yourselves in a safety meeting if you have not done so already.
- For the Protection of our concrete we must acknowledge the factors that will affect the concrete during the hot summer months and plan accordingly to minimize their effects. We can also use local resources along with the National ACI website to help assist you with any information needed to combat hot weather concrete.
Lastly, I would like to encourage all members to come to the programs and bring a friend or someone in the industry that has not had the opportunity to attend one of our programs. We are here to educate and promote existing & new technology to our local industry, where the future is built today.
Be Safe,
