The Concrete Technical Community of Interest is a group of professionals (both AMPP members and nonmembers) that will include, owners, manufacturers, consultants, contractors, and others from various industries (Bridge, oil, gas, marine, rail, etc.) who have come together to share and discuss issues affecting the concrete industry and new and emerging technology in materials for both surface preparation, coating application and quality assurance, and quality control. Through the shared knowledge of this diverse group, both geographically and from varying viewpoints, information can be discussed about current issues for both the design phase and construction phase as they relate to surface preparation, coating application, and inspection. This can include the proper selection of materials during the design phase and contract specification development for the construction phase. The sharing of knowledge on how to deal with those issues and new technologies to protect those concrete structures with the newly applied coating system can be discussed and how they can be incorporated to streamline those processes and possibly lower the overall costs.

    Good Day All

    I trust everyone is staying healthy and productive as we speed towards the Christmas break and inevitably into the New Year. I appreciate everyone who took the time out to Join our first meeting on November 21st. It was out first meeting and was somewhat sparsely attended, however we did have a robust discussion none the less.  

    I am planning another virtual call at the beginning of the year. Details to follow soon. I am also planning to have a meeting live and in person in Denver at the National AMPP conference in March. I am not sure who all will be there, however, keep an eye out for those details to be forthcoming. 

    Topics discussed at our inaugural meeting of concrete minds included the following; 
    • Discussions regarding developing an AMPP guideline/standard for Sewer Collection systems
    • The CCI course
    • Development of a guideline similar to SSPC TR5/ICRI 03741/NACE02203 for the application of concrete mortars
    • Updates to SSPC Guide 27

    Obviously, with concrete there is no shortage of discussion points. Please keep and eye out for invites. 
    I look forward to future robust and productive discussions. 

    Kindest Regards
