The Construction Technical Community of Interest is a group of professionals (both AMPP members and nonmembers) who have come together for the purpose of furthering a common cause by sharing wisdom, knowledge, information, and/or data for the construction industry. This group will include contractors, owners, manufacturers, consultants, and others from various industries (Bridge, oil, gas, marine, rail, etc.) to discuss issues affecting this community. This will also include new and emerging technologies as well. Topics may include production, equipment, labor force, training, materials, and quality control. Through the shared knowledge of this diverse group, both geographically and from varying viewpoints, information can be discussed that will address the needs of this community and provide solutions that will enhance the performance, steam line those processes and execution during the construction phase, and possibly lower the overall costs.

    SSPC-QP 7, "Procedure for Evaluating Coating Contractors With Limited Work Experience", is overdue for review and revision.

    This standard was intended as an entry-level accreditation to avoid "restraint of trade" issues when requiring QP 1. The idea was that this accreditation would be held for a year but then not renewed--rather, the contractor would upgrade to QP 1. My understanding is that the idea came from the DOT sector.

    If you're interested in participating, let me know. We are particularly interested in DOT participation.

    Also, we may need a new DPM to lead this effort. Anyone interested, or know anyone interested? You do NOT have to be a member of SC 25 to be a DPM.

    If Tony is in, so am I. Being one of the "old guys", I was involved when QP7 was created.
