NRMCA Senior Director, National Resources, Phil Kresge recently participated in two concrete seminars hosted by the Ohio Concrete Association. At the Southwest Ohio Concrete Educational Seminar, Kresge presented Revitalizing Existing Asphalt Pavement with Concrete Overlays. The program addressed concrete overlays for asphalt streets and featured successful projects in LeMars, IA and New Orleans.

The theme of the Northeast Ohio Concrete Conference was "For the Love of Concrete," and Kresge’s presentation, Parking Lot Pavement Design with ACI 330, focused on the how’s and why’s of proper design, providing examples of savings realized by following the recommendations of ACI 330. NRMCA Vice President of Sustainability Tien Peng also presented Keeping Up with the Acronyms/LEED v4 and EPD’s. Peng spoke of the significant shift in the assessment of green products in LEED and how those changes affect how building products will be measured for their environmental impacts.

The conferences were part of Ohio Concrete Association’s Annual Winter Concrete Conferences which targets the design community and introduces them to issues impacting the concrete construction industry and the latest in concrete paving technology from experts in the field.
