NRMCA & PCA to Host Pervious Concrete Seminars

The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) and the Portland Cement Association (PCA) have once again combined efforts to offer the seminar Pervious Concrete – A Stormwater Solution in three additional cities this summer:

• July 30 – Phoenix;

• Aug. 4 – Houston; and

• Aug. 6 – Boston.

These single-day programs provide detailed instruction on how to implement pervious concrete pavements as a solution to reducing storm water runoff from building sites and other paved areas. Attendees will learn the details of pervious concrete pavement systems, engineering properties and construction techniques. This course will help civil engineers, architects, landscape architects and public works officials develop details and write project specifications for pervious concrete pavement systems. Contractors, product suppliers and land developers will also benefit from this seminar.

Two of the following instructors will present the program:

• Bruce K. Ferguson – Franklin Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Georgia;

• Heather J. Brown – director and assistant professor, Concrete Industry Management, Middle Tennessee State University;

• Lionel Lemay – senior vice president, sustainable development, NRMCA;

• Erin Ashley – senior director, sustainable construction, NRMCA; and

• Nathaniel Mohler – concrete engineer, PCA.

Architects and engineers earn six professional development hours upon completion of this program. This seminar is registered with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems.
