Las Vegas Engineering Firm Learns About Parking Lot Overlays

Lochsa Engineering, a leading Las Vegas engineering firm, recently hosted an extended luncheon seminar at its office to learn about the procedure of concrete overlays on existing asphalt parking lot. The 1½- hour session was conducted by NRMCA Vice President, National Resources, Jon Hansen, and featured the RMC Research & Education Foundation publication Guide to Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots as the technical document for the seminar. The luncheon was part of an ongoing commitment to Lochsa Engineering started in 2013 by concrete industry partners NRMCA and California Nevada Cement Association (CNCA) members Tom Tietz and Clay Slocum who made arrangements for the meeting and also attended. Nineteen members and invited clients of Lochsa Engineering participated in the luncheon.

At the conclusion of the luncheon seminar, a partner with Lochsa Engineering told NRMCA and CNCA staff that since 2013 the firm had designed a number of new concrete parking lots using ACI 330 as a result of a similar seminar that year. He also mentioned he uses NRMCA's Concrete Pavement Design software in all of his designs. He thanked the concrete industry for its support in guiding his firm in its goal to become the leading concrete paving design firm in Las Vegas.
