The Regional Concrete Technology Training and Certification Program (Technical Short Course) held in early February in Orlando was attended by 40 industry personnel (seen here) at the Florida Concrete Products Association (FCPA). Besides the NRMCA Engineering Division Staff, guest speakers included Terry Harris with GCP Applied Technologies who discussed chemical admixtures and Mike Davy with ARGOS-USA speaking on quality control procedures.
The NRMCA Concrete Technologist Level 2 Certification was awarded to 25 individuals and 20 achieved the Level 3 Certification. Brandon Coble with CalPortland Company (CA) achieved the highest score of 100% on the Level 2 exam while Brandon Weaver with Lauren Concrete (TX) obtained the high score of 93% on the Level 3 exam. The support and sponsorship of FCPA and Heidelberg Materials for providing PCA reference text and the NRMCA super sponsors (Euclid, Master Builders Solutions and Sika) are appreciated. The attendees at the course are congratulated for their involved participation.
The next Short Course will be scheduled in early November in Maryland. For more information contact Colin Lobo at clobo@nrmca.org.
