Minnesota Concrete Forums Create Flurry of Activity

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

More than 80 participants attended Concrete Forums held recently in Brooklyn Park and Rochester, MN, reports NRMCA Vice President, National Resources, Jon Hansen. Sponsored by Portland Cement Association-North Central (PCA-NC) Executive Director Doug Burns and marketed by Margaret Mills with the Minnesota Concrete Council, NRMCA’s newest state affiliate, this series of forums focused on ACI 330 parking lot design, concrete overlays of existing asphalt parking lots, and the use of fibers in concrete flatwork applications.

"Within days of the forums, April Stier, pavement engineer with PCA-NC, received a request from a facilities engineer who attended a parking lot Design Assistance Program (DAP) for a project that was designed with asphalt but is now seeking a concrete option," Hansen said. "Another request for a Streets and Local Roads DAP is being processed at the request of a city engineer that attended. In addition to these urgent requests for DAP service, there were a number of national and regional companies requesting follow up information for future projects."
