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.

    Thanks for today meeting and my apologies on sudden disconnection, due to losing internet connection

    I am looking forward to the next steps on taking QP8 to the next installment. Thanks Jeff and all members and staff involved.
    I am a strong advocate and believer we have great opportunities for the industry to see the great benefits and ability this program  has to offer

    Regards,

    Guillermo

    Hi Guillermo!

    I assisted a company in completing the QP8 certification process about 1 year ago. With your understanding of coating and concrete technologies, QP8 certification should be fairly easy. QP8 document requirements are similar to the requirements of AMPP QP1. QP8 has a requirement for inspectors to hold an AMPP Concrete Coating Inspector Level 1 certification and a quality inspection manager with a Concrete Coating Inspector Level 2 certification. AMPP can advise course locations and dates.

    The 5-day concrete coating inspection course will focus on surface preparation and moisture issues for the written examination. The "hands on" portion of the test will focus on Tooke gage and ultrasonic coating thickness measurement, pull-off adhesion testing, and surface profile determination with ICRI profile chips.

    The information provided by Benjamin Cook should assist your knowledge of inorganic hybrid concrete coating protection as an alternative to traditional epoxy/polyurethane/methacrylate coatings.
