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 am please and honored to be selected to lead this TCI group on Concrete. I am looking forward to facilitating many great discussions on all things concrete related. To those who have joined this TCI group, thank you for your willingness to join the conversation! I am certain the discussions will be robust and fruitful. I will be setting up a first meeting in the coming weeks to get the ball rolling. As I am sure you are already aware if you have joined this group, concrete is a formidable topic, we can only get better at dealing with all of it's intricacies through like minded discussions. Please keep an eye on this site for details on our first meeting coming soon.

    Thanks for joining the group. Regarding swimming pools? I really have no idea. I will find out though as it is misleading. Tony? Dustin? Why swimming pools?

    Hey All, its because when the TCI was originally created it was titled Swimming Pools. So if you joined it then, you will get a message board title that says that. Since we have changed the name, if you join it after the name change it will be titled "Concrete." Its much easier to change the title of a TCI that currently exists rather than creating a whole new one. Hope that helps.

     

    Thanks!
