MO56 NEW!

This course presents a preparatory program for pervious concrete certification programs. Importance will be placed on background knowledge of concrete technology and experience in placing, consolidation, finishing, edging, jointing and curing of pervious concrete. Seminar attendees will review and discuss sample certification exam questions. Interested candidates will be provided information on certification programs which will be administered by certifying organizations at the time of their inquiry.

1. Discuss basic concrete technology, pervious concrete materials and mix proportioning

For more information and to register for the written examination, contact ACPA at 614.431.5618 or email janet@concretepumpers.com.

Take the ACPA Concrete Pump Operator Certification Exam the same day as the training seminar. Certification, re-certification and apprentice examinations will be available. Specific work experience on specified equipment is required for certification.

Tuesday, January 18 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm ACPA Concrete Pump Operator Safety Written Exam (Must contact ACPA directly to register)

Fee: $110.00 by 12/09/10; $140.00 after 12/09/10 & onsite

4. Identify the top safety issues and how to safely and effectively deal with co-workers coming in contact with a concrete pump on the job

3. Discuss detailed instructions on specific safety hazards such as operating near powerlines, outrigger set-up, clean-out procedures and air entrapment

2. Summarize the concrete pumping basics from before the job preparation to cleaning out and completing the job

1. Evaluate how to increase an operator’s level of safety awareness and professionalism

ACPA Concrete Pump Operator Certification is the only industry-recognized certification program which provides an independent written assessment of an operator’s knowledge regarding concrete pump safety. Specific equipment experience time and four hours of ACPA sanctioned safety training is required for ACPA Certification and Re-Certification. Attending WOC Seminar TU57 on Concrete Pump Safety fulfills the safety training requirement and is a comprehensive, in-depth course covering all the basics included in the Certification Exam. Inexperienced operators can fulfill their safety training requirement and still have the opportunity to take the exam and then apply for certification once they reach the required experience time.

2. Examine general design principles of pervious concrete pavements

3. Implement proper procedures to place, compact, finish, edge, joint, cure and protect pervious concrete pavements

4. Summarize three levels of pervious certification and the requirements for obtaining each

Pervious Concrete Field Project for Installer Certification Two-hour time slots required for executing the field project available below

Tuesday - Friday, January 18-21 10:30 am - 12:30 pm

Tuesday - Thursday, January 18-20 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm; 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Registrants taking advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate and enhance their skills as pervious concrete installers will meet one of the requirements for the pervious concrete installer. The two-hour field project will simulate the performance evaluation commonly conducted by certification entities. Project participants will demonstrate procedures for placing, compacting, finishing, edging, jointing and early curing of a pervious concrete slab. Instructors will observe and evaluate the techniques used and record “pass” or “fail” grades on the various individual procedures. Participants who “pass” the field project exercise will be issued credit for their efforts as completing one of three required construction projects for the pervious concrete installer.

This two-hour “hands-on” learning activity is open to all registered WOC attendees, but credit towards certification can only be extended to those who possess a current ACI Flatwork Finisher Technician or Craftsman certification at the time of application. Please note class size is limited to six individuals per two-hour time slot. Separate registration and $350 project fee required.

Attendees will place, strike-off and finish a superflat slab. Upon successful completion of the written exam, performance exam and verification of submitted work experience, certification as an ACI Specialty Commercial/Industrial Concrete Flatwork Finisher will be issued. Participants will also be eligible to receive the High Tolerance Specialist certification in addition to the basic Commercial/Industrial Finisher credential. Since the performance exam will be conducted using fresh concrete, registered participants must be present for the entire performance examination. Separate registration and $200 performance exam fee required.

This course presents a preparatory program for pervious concrete certification programs. Importance will be placed on background knowledge of concrete technology and experience in placing, consolidation, finishing, edging, jointing and curing of pervious concrete. Seminar attendees will review and discuss sample certification exam questions. Interested candidates will be provided information on certification programs which will be administered by certifying organizations at the time of their inquiry. 1. Discuss basic concrete technology, pervious concrete materials and mix proportioning 2. Examine general design principles of pervious concrete pavements 3. Implement proper procedures to place, compact, finish, edge, joint, cure and protect pervious concrete pavements 4. Summarize three levels of pervious certification and the requirements for obtaining each Fee: $110.00 by 12/09/10; $140.00 after 12/09/10 & onsite Pervious Concrete Field Project for Installer Certification Two-hour time slots required for executing the field project available below Tuesday - Friday, January 18-21 10:30 am - 12:30 pm Tuesday - Thursday, January 18-20 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm; 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm Registrants taking advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate and enhance their skills as pervious concrete installers will meet one of the requirements for the pervious concrete installer. The two-hour field project will simulate the performance evaluation commonly conducted by certification entities. Project participants will demonstrate procedures for placing, compacting, finishing, edging, jointing and early curing of a pervious concrete slab.

Wednesday, January 19 8:00 am - 11:00 am ICRI Slab Moisture Testing Technician Educational Review Peter Craig and Scott Tarr 3.0 hours AIA/CES (HSW) and PDH. The purpose of this program is to help standardize moisture testing in the U.S. with the intent of producing more consistent and accurate test results. This Concrete Slab Moisture Testing Technician Certification Program is divided into two Tiers. Tier 1 is comprised of a three hour educational/review session (WE58) and a one hour written exam (WECRT).

Tier 2, full certification attendees will be required to attend the same educational/review session (WE58) and take the written exam (WECRT) in addition to performing each of the four ASTM field tests under the watchful eye of a qualified judge who will provide no level of coaching. By passing both the written and performance exams, a Slab Moisture Testing Technician - Grade I, 5 year Certification will be issued by ICRI to the individual. The written exam and field performance tests will be based on the following four (4) ASTM Standards, including all Annexes and Appendices: 1. Prepare Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring; Section 5.3 pH Testing (ASTM F 710) 2. Measure Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Subfloor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride (ASTM F 1869) 3. Determine Relative Humidity in Concrete Floor Slabs Using in situ Probes (ASTM F2170) 4.
