t is with great sadness to report that Harry L. Gressette, along with two other men, were tragically killed in the early morning hours of Friday, October 7, 2016. As of this writing, the circumstances and motives of this crime continue to be investigated by the Berkley County Sheriff’s Office (South Carolina). A suspect has been taken into custody and charges have been filed. Harry had a long and extensive career beginning at a young age in his family’s ready-mixed concrete company. He later went on to start his own concrete contracting company, specializing in large placements of concrete flatwork. But perhaps Harry is best known for being an avid supporter of polished concrete. He was one of the first contractors to provide polished concrete nationwide. He had a passion for polished concrete and was always willing to teach anyone who asked how to create a polished concrete floor. In many ways, Harry’s unwavering support and attentiveness to polished concrete helped define the industry we see today.

Harry was a managing partner of Ardor Solutions. He was a founding board member of the Concrete Polishing Association of America. With his consulting business, Harry L. Gressette Consulting, he helped develop and implement concrete polishing systems that resulted in making polished concrete a superior architectural product for contractors and their clients. There is an empty hole in the polished concrete industry now that is irreplaceable. He was a hardworking, honest man with a wealth of knowledge that was unparalleled. His work and contributions to the industry will be his legacy. Rest in peace Harry. Our thoughts are with his family and friends as we mourn the loss of an industry icon.

FORMS & REINFORCEMENT Pentair Introduces LENTON A22 High Strength Coupler Pentair introduces the LENTON A22 Coupler for high strength applications, such as seismic projects. The coupler was engineered to address the requirements for ASTM A615 Grade 100 reinforcing steel. It is designed to meet the bars specified ultimate tensile strength of 155 ksi. The product is made from 100 percent U.S. domestic steel and is available in sizes #7 through #18. Other sizes are available upon request. • The A22 Coupler utilizes the same LENTON taper thread so there is no change to the threading of the bar end. • Quickly and easily connect two pieces of reinforcing steel and improve the steel-toconcrete ratio by eliminating half of the bars necessary in the “lap zone” of a column. • LENTON products develop higher tensile strength than lap splicing while providing full load transfer. • Provides confidence in reinforcing steel connections. ForConstructionPros.com/12257635
PERI Introduces New Slab Formwork GRIDFLEX PERI has introduced a new slab formwork system to the US market. GRIDFLEX is a lightweight aluminum grid element system that saves time by eliminating the need to set up and position girders individually, by providing ready-made aluminum grid elements that are simply hooked into the prophead and erected from below.
Requires only four main components – prophead, one standard and two filler elements – making GRIDFLEX intuitive and straight forward. • After an area is enclosed, the grid just needs to be covered with any grade of plywood which is then nailed down to the aluminum struts. • The lightweight design, with a standard element only weighing around 40 lbs., allows a single person to easily handle the system. • GRIDFLEX is expected to be a major productivity upgrade in terms of time and labor savings for contractors who are still doing a lot of work with girder slab formwork or heavy panel slab formwork. ForConstructionPros.com/12055112
Concrete Formwork Concrete Formwork provides valuable information on the construction and safe assembly and disassembly of formwork for residential, light commercial, and heavy commercial structures. • Various aspects of concrete construction methods are presented in sequence, from site preparation through concrete placement and stripping forms. • This edition has information on personal fall-arrest systems, concrete exposure hazards, concrete reinforcement, and heavy construction equipment and safety.

Twister Rotary Tying Tool The Twister Rotary Tying Tool is designed to cut, twist and tie rebar in place. • Cuts excess wire on closing. • No batteries or electricity required. • Operator controls the tightness of the tie. ForConstructionPros.com/10165436
Doka Truss Table The Doka Truss table represents the fastest method to set and strip large slab formwork. This is a must to handle today’s demand for high-speed construction cycles. • Fast construction cycles with substantial labor savings and optimized large tables for your project. • Speed up your forming times by safely cycling large tables of up to 2,150 square feet per crane lift. ForConstructionPros.com/12115837

How To Place a
Better Floor
With the Somero Floor Levelness System, contractors now have a tool to help them perform their jobs better and make corrections along the way when using laser screed equipment.
E
arlier this year at the World of Concrete, Somero Enterprise Inc. introduced the Somero Floor Levelness System which monitors laser screed performance, operator performance, and reports alert percentages of possible issues during the screeding process. Myron Hillock, Sales Director for Somero Enterprises Inc. says the company has been looking for ways to make things simple for the laser screed operator. “Between the diagnostics in our heads up display and the new visual Somero Floor Levelness System, operators may now receive live feedback during each screed pass to better improve floor quality on the fly while screeding a concrete floor.” With this new system, the operator and the machine work better together, improving consistency and therefore have more opportunity for
better Floor Levelness (FL) numbers. Achieving good numbers however, leads to more questions. “If a poor FF/FL test occurs, perhaps the screed is assumed the cause. But when we dive in to examine FL problems days after a pour, it could be operator issues, mix design issues, finishing issues, and not related to the screed at all,” Hillock says. “So now what this tool gives us is the ability to evaluate in real time the operator and the screed performance and support that with a detailed report. We are now evaluating on a daily basis, how good the operator is doing and how well the machine is performing. If there are any deviances, they are going to appear.” Matthew Kangas, Somero Floor Levelness System Engineer says
In this example, of all the passes that have been recorded so far on this day, the left hand side reported an average of 429 while the right side reported an average of 415. This indicates that the operator and both sides of the machine are performing well with some room for improvement. The icon alerts at the bottom would indicate the specific areas to improvement.

the development of this system has taken a lot of what engineering has gathered over the years and created a system to make the machines better and brings that power to the operator.

Pictured here is a basic summary report. For a more detailed analysis after the job, operators may download the data to a USB stick. The data is then sent to Somero Customer Support and a report is created. The report is analyzed and feedback is provided to the contractor. Photo Credit: Somero Enterprises Inc.
“The system will tell the operator right away about what they can do to improve and what they can do to have their machine run better,” Kangas explains. “The system reports whether the screed ran different from the day before. If you have a new operator or an experienced operator, they can hone in on how to improve their FL numbers”. One of the other aspects of this new system is while the specs on a floor project may not call for it, the expectation of higher and higher FL numbers is always out there from the owner, GC or the contractors themselves. “Operators will always strive to get good numbers, as an industry, that expectation will always exist and this system will improve the quality of the floor being placed and it will make the contractor’s life easier with greater piece of mind,” Hillock says.
A TOOL OF THE TRADE Contractors may not always take on projects that specify high FL numbers, however, a contractor does want to know how to achieve those numbers when it is needed. “This tool is systematic and consistent so the operator knows what numbers they can achieve and it gives them confidence when they bid these jobs with specs for a higher FL number,” Kangas says. “Responding to the feedback allows the operator to achieve a higher quality floor.”
TRAINING TOOL Installation of the device is simple. Once installed, the operator pushes a “record” button and the system will begin recording every screed pass during screeding. In doing so, every pass is giving feedback to the operator in real time. The system
“scores” each pass independently on the left and right side on a scale of 0 to 500. During this time, nine parameters are being recorded. As the operator continues each pass, icons will display on the bottom of the screen to show the operator what he/she can improve. For example, if the head of the screed came down too hard during a touchdown, the system will alert the operator of the event and give them the opportunity to immediately correct it before finishing the rest of the pass. The Somero Floor Levelness System offers operators a visual alert on screen to make adjustments to the screed or redo the pass to improve the floor quality. There are four hot keys on each side of the screen that coincide to different icons. Located at the bottom of the screen are nine icons which represent nine different parameters the system is measuring with each pass of the screed.
If you look at the picture (page 16), it shows 431 on the top left and a 294 on the top right. These numbers represent the quality of the pass independently on the left and the right side of the screed head. As the screed pass continues, the number will fluctuate—500 is the best, zero is terrible. The numbers underneath are a running total or summation of all the screed passes thus far. In this case, 429 on the left and 415 on the right. “In this example, of all the passes that have been recorded so far on this day, the left hand side reported an average of 429 while the right side reported an average of 415,” Hillock says. “This indicates that the operator and both sides of the machine are performing well with some room for improvement. The icon alerts at the bottom would indicate the specific areas to improvement.”

“If the system is set up consistently each day, a contractor will put down a better floor,” Kangas explains. “The data collected will detect if the machine is stabilized properly and will allow the operator to fine tune how to run the machine.” At any time, the operator may also push a summary button and see how many times there were alerts and instantly know what they need to work on as it relates to the operation of the machine. For a more detailed analysis after the job, operators may download the data to a USB stick. The data is then sent to Somero Customer Support and a report is created. The report is analyzed and feedback is provided to the operator and contractor. According to Hillock, “The Advanced Report option will graphically chart relative location in relationship to the pour where each icon alerted. When you overlay this data with the
testing agencies individual FF / FL run data, obvious similarities become glaringly apparent.” “The report will tell the operator what they can do to improve their floor,” Kangas says. “It’s a very powerful tool.” It’s important to note, the system is not measuring the FL of the floor, but instead, how well the operator performed and how well the machine performed to the laser beam. “The way the system operates is it is evaluating how accurate we are to the laser beam,” Hillock notes. “If an operator takes due caution in setting up the laser at the beginning of the day and the contractor makes sure their laser transmitters are routinely calibrated for accuracy, this system can provide very valuable information to the contractor.”

The Somero Floor Levelness System is designed to be useful to all types of operators. New operators may recently have completed their training or only accomplished a few actual pours so far, or they may have years of experience and seasoned operators. “For the new operator this system will quickly identify their strengths and weak points, electronically. So rather than learning by trial and error, it will help a new operator get up to speed to be more proficient much quicker,” Hillock says. “The experienced operator on the other hand will be able to see things such as new technology or features he/she may not be taking advantage of correctly or show him/her things they may be doing improperly that they were not previously aware of.” The system is available as an option for all Somero S-22E Laser Screed models.

Ideal for settings subject to damaging sunlight, the new Wearcoat 481HP was formulated from inception to be both anti-yellowing and faderesistant. This new epoxy is designed as an upgrade from CFI’s long-proven Wearcoat 440 for applications where the floor has exposure to the sun or high intensity lighting. While all epoxies will eventually yellow, it will take twice the exposure for the 481HP to change noticeably while also improving wear resistance by 30 percent over conventional epoxy flooring. Developed as the go-to option for indoor/outdoor applications, extensive testing has demonstrated that it should prove ideal for garages, hangars, or other areas exposed to UV rays.
Wearcoat 481HP topcoat is especially effective in providing a seamless floor with good resistance to an array of hazards, even those encountered in aircraft hangars, or emergency and medical facilities. • Ideal for application at facilities that are in-service because it has zero VOCs and extremely low odor. • All of the decorative options including flakes, quartz and metallics available for Wearcoat 440 are also available for the new Wearcoat 481HP.

New Cut Stone Edging for Concrete from Butterfield Color Innovative uses of concrete require equally innovative tools and processes. Butterfield Color has responded by developing a new 6-1/4 in. One Piece Cantilevered Step Liner. This liner eliminates the need for complex forming to create a cantilevered step. • In most cases the steps can be framed using standard 2' x 6' lumber. • The liner has a 45-degree angle on the back which gives room to finish the step or slab below and thus the forms can be stripped the following day. • Traditional step form liners are difficult to finish underneath and in some cases require stripping the form prior to final set of the concrete which can be very difficult. • Also available in a 7-1/4 in.

Husqvarna presents a brand new remotecontrol floor grinder, the PG 680 RC with a unique automated oscillation function. This allows the operator to mimic manual operation movements for higher efficiency and greater productivity and consistency on the job. At the same time, the PG 680 RC is flexible and fits through a standard door opening. Using a remote controlled grinder delivers increased productivity over manual grinders due to the fact the operator can correct hoses and power cord, move the dust collector, inspect the floor, and prepare the next set of tools - all while the machine is still running. The remote control unit can also optimize grinding parameters across multiple operators, resulting in more consistent operation and a better finished surface. • Oscillation function - allows the operator to mimic manual operation movements. It creates the best possible grinding pattern by adjusting amplitude and frequency as well as a flatter floor by eliminating ridges. • E-Track - allows the operator to set the machine to track in a straight line. • Compact size - can easily move through a standard door opening. • Increased productivity - higher output as optimum grinding parameters can be maintained over time. More grinding hours per day since one person can operate and prepare the next steps simultaneously. • Parameter settings - enable consistent and better grinding performance. • Ergonomic operation - operator is not exposed to vibrations and sideway forces of the machine. • User friendly - intuitive display with two-way communication with machine. • Transportation - effortless loading/ unloading with integrated battery. • Dual Drive Technology.

DO YOU SOFF-CUT®?
ProEdge
Soff-Cut is not only the original way to minimize the risk of random cracking, but can also be used for decorative cutting. First, Ultra Early Entry™ control joints are dry cut during the Green Zone™ - the first hour or two after finishing - to eliminate random cracks. Then, once the concrete is fully cured, these cuts can be chased by a Soff-Cut 150 D and ProEdge beveled blade to create a decorative beveled look. The result is a more polished, professionally finished appearance. Husqvarna offers the complete Soff-Cut system of equipment and diamond tooling, perfectly matched for aggregates throughout the country. It is important with the Soff-Cut method to change the skid plate with every blade, to ensure optimal cuts.

TESTING & SOFTWARE Wagner Meters Introduces Moisture Test Kit
Con-Cure Introduces NEX Real-time Concrete Monitoring System The NEX wireless concrete temperature and maturity monitoring system allows you to instantly view the live, real-time status of concrete 24 hours a day from any Internet browser. This is accomplished using multiple small, reusable sensors embedded inside the concrete, with lead wires routed to the outside of the formwork. Cellular nodes send temperature data to the cloud in real-time, where it is processed into secure browserbased software. The nodes simultaneously record data onto an SD card as a backup. Unlimited users can view the data at the same time from any location, enabling easy collaboration. The system will also send a text or email when the concrete has attained critical thresholds such as high or low temperatures, excessive temperature differentials or in-place strength. ForConstructionPros.com/12257633
James Instruments Inc. Aggrameter T-T-100 The James Instruments Inc. Aggrameter T-T-100 utilizes the latest microwave and microprocessor technology to measure moisture content in various fine and coarsegrained materials. The prongs of the probe are inserted into the material to be tested and the percentage of moisture content is instantaneously shown on the easy to read display. An average of five to ten readings is normally taken in order to ensure a valid result. The moisture content is displayed directly as a percentage of dry weight. • Comes calibrated for both sand and aggregate. • Can be programmed by the user with up to ten different materials. • It can store more than 150 readings— complete with time and date for future reference. • Data can be recalled via USB interface.

TEMP System Eases Compliance with Mass Concrete Pour Requirements The TEMP (Thermal Evaluation of Mass Pours) system makes it simple and cost efficient to meet requirements of thermal control plans and monitor concrete maturity. TEMP measures concrete temperatures during curing in various locations of the pour using patented Thermal Wire cables, which feature custom-spaced digital temperature sensors. The cables are cast into the concrete, often tied to the reinforcement. The TEMP system is unique in making it possible to have multiple measuring points in a single Thermal Wire cable, allowing the design of each monitoring project with as few or as many temperature sensors per cable as required to minimize cost. • A single external TEMP data logger collects and stores temperature measurements of all sensors of the Thermal Wire cable. • No batteries in the sensors themselves, only in the external TEMP data logger and lasts 28 days, is rechargeable and is easily replaceable when low, making it possible to monitor and store temperature data indefinitely. • Analysis and reporting is performed with the TEMP-S software, which makes it fast and intuitive to generate a customized presentation-quality report. It displays measured temperatures versus time in graphical and tabular forms, maximum and minimum temperatures, and the maximum temperature differentials, along with allowable limits entered by the user. • TEMP-S calculates concrete maturity based on measured temperatures, and helps the user estimate concrete strength based on a user-determined strength-maturity relationship. • Allows users to comply with maturity monitoring requirements of ASTM C1074 – 11 ForConstructionPros.com/12169212
