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.

Welcome to AMPP Technical Committee TC 04 Transportation

    Welcome to AMPP Technical Committee TC 04 Transportation 

    As you may know, the AMPP Technical Program Committee has now launched Technical Committees (TC). My name is Tony Serdenes, and I am pleased to introduce myself to you as the Chair for TC 04 Transportation.  This committee is responsible for directing the activities of the following Regulatory (incl. DOT, FAA); Marine; Land (Rail) (To include Amusement Parks and Subways); Bridge (To include Tunnels); Construction; and Concrete Technical Communities of Interest (TCIs), where we hope you will be interested to participate and contribute to the technical exchanges.  Due to a recent adjustment of the TCs, the TC 06 Infrastructure has been eliminated along with car parks and swimming pools. The rest of the TCIs have been integrated into the TCIs of this TC as detailed above. The world has changed incredibly since legacy SSPC/NACE days and, with virtual working being more commonplace, we now have opportunities to meet more regularly, share more knowledge than ever before, and bring new and exciting topics for discussion throughout the year.  Here is a flavor of the type of interactions we have in store:

    • Technical Exchanges – where we can meet, discuss, present information, and network with our fellow TCI members
    • Focus Groups – for specific topics or activities, such as supporting upcoming Conference Symposia as authors, paper reviewers, and symposium officers
    • Task Forces – hot topics, for example, to consolidate and deliver information in response to a significant corrosion event
    • Workshops – to learn from our peers about new and emerging topics and technologies

    We appreciate that the Technical Program has lacked visibility during its inception, and our members may have questions and concerns.  Please be assured that the TPC and our Technical Committee are ready, willing, and available to support the activities and growth of our TCIs, to ensure a great user experience, and to secure interest growth in our Technical Subject Matter.   We hope to see you soon and to share in these great activities with you - if your employer requires validation of your participation in the Technical Program, AMPP can issue a certificate to confirm the importance of your contribution to the success of our committees.

    How to Join the TCIs:

    If you have previously participated in a legacy NACE STG or TEG and you wish to continue to contribute, you will find that the committee has been mapped to one of the new AMPP TCIs.  Please visit the AMPP website to view the Transition Map and find your TCI(s) – you will need to register to join!   If you have any questions about any matter related to the TPC or TC 04 Transportation, please drop us a message to the below e-mail address.  If you would like to take a more active role in the new TCIs, such as becoming a TCI Manager or leading a Task Force, please let us know of your interest and which TCI this relates to by writing in to:
