Minnesota Partners Host Three Seminars in Three Days in Three Cities

NRMCA industry partners in Minnesota recently held three parking lot overlay seminars in three different cities in three days, reports Senior National Resource Director Jon Hansen. Working with Doug Burns and April Stier of the Portland Cement Association's North Central Regional Office, the first two seminars were held in Eden Prairie and Albert Lea. Both seminars were well attended with over 25 people attending each presentation. The audience mix represented contractors, municipal, large business owners and NRMCA National Account clients. The 3-hour seminars focused on pavement rehabilitation with concrete overlays and the sustainable benefits of paving with concrete. 

The third seminar was hosted by NRMCA Producer member Cemstone and was held in Mendota Heights. The morning-long session included Hansen speaking on the newly released Guide to Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots and sharing examples of successful parking lot overlays around the nation. Also on the morning program was a contractor from Wisconsin who recently purchased a laser guided screed and shared his experience on selling and delivering concrete parking lot overlays as a rehabilitation option to owners. Rounding out the morning program, a representative from an equipment company talked about the process of constructing successful overlay projects using a laser guided screed.
