The New Jersey Chapter of the American Concrete Institute is conducting a concrete construction technology course

DESCRIPTION: This course, developed by the New Jersey Chapter, will provide the engineer, contractor and concrete producer an understanding of the latest in concrete technology and knowledge to make the appropriate decisions in the field, including troubleshooting.  In addition, it provides, upon successful completion of the course and exam, certification by the New Jersey Chapter that the candidate understands the basics in concrete technology and meets the certification requirements of the NJ DOT and the Port Authority of NY & NJ.

• From the basics of concrete mix designs to developing concrete mixes to produce more workable & job specific mixes.
• Learn the latest about concrete admixtures and when and how to properly use them.
• Mix designs that have been successfully used.  How to properly place, finish and cure this concrete.
• How to successfully place concrete in hot and cold weather with good results.  Mix designs, batching, curing procedures, and testing to meet these conditions.
• Common concrete construction problems will be discussed.  What causes these problems.  How to prevent them and corrective action to be taken when they occur.
• The common sense essentials to a successful concrete project such as: pre-construction meeting, ordering concrete, etc.
