Insulated Composite Panels: Bringing Tilt-Up Back to the Northeast
September 29, 2017 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm
Self Consolidating Concrete and Tilt-Up
September 30, 2017 from 9:00am to 10:00am
Glimmer 1-4
PMI has developed patented self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures known as PlaceReady and FormReady for use in tilt-up construction. These mix designs provide unique solutions to age old tilt-up issues. Mixes are usually custom designed to meet the specific needs of the project.
This seminar will be focusing on the New Port Ritchey Elementary School Project, a challenging project that required early tilting strength, architectural brick fascia on portions of the panels, and a tight time table, as well as a contractor who had never used PlaceReady.
Many contractors have valid concerns about using a new product, this seminar will discuss how a ready mix supplier can produce SCC concrete consistently, accurately, and successfully. SCC has been used globally for over 20 years with great success on some of the world's most iconic and identifiable projects.
There is no reason why SCC cannot be used on your next project.
Safety Management Systems in Comparison
September 30, 2017 from 10:00am to 11:00am
Glimmer 1-4
With the proposed implementation of ISO 45001 Occupational Safety Management Systems in 2017, and new guidelines from OSHA on safety and health management programs, now is a good time to review Safety Management Systems (SMS) from the logistical and historical perspectives. This seminar will cover several different Safety Management Systems. By exploring the common elements and contrasting their differences, attendees will be able to identify the best SMS for their employer.
OSHA Silica Regulation Ratcheting Up Your Projects
September 30, 2017 from 11:00am to 12:00pm
Glimmer 1-4
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations that went into effect on June 23, 2016 with required compliance by September 23, 2017 will forever change the construction industry.
Although many in the industry believe there will be additional delays in the regulatory action due to further research that is taking place, it is in your best interests as an employer and as a for-profit company to understand the history of the issue, the regulations that have been established and the impact this will have on the tilt-up and related concrete work in which you are involved.
