RCC and Pervious Concrete Groups to Conduct Conference Calls

The NRMCA Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement Promotion Task Force and the Pervious Concrete Promotion Subcommittee will hold conference calls on Tuesday, July 14 and Wednesday, July 15, respectively. Both calls will be held at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Interested individuals are invited to participate.

The RCC Pavement Task Force is looking to finalize the proposed Ready Mix Producer’s Guide to Roller-Compacted Concrete, according to Chairman Steve Tripp. Focus of the guide will be to provide assistance to ready mix producers with regard to mix design and production. Additionally, the task force will discuss promotion/marketing opportunities for the ready mix industry. On the heels of the release of its successful Pervious Concrete Pavement Maintenance and Operations Guide, the Pervious Concrete Promotion Subcommittee will discuss the development of future technical briefs addressing such topics as proper pervious concrete specification, mix design guidance and acceptance testing of pervious concrete. Additionally, Chairman Dave Frentress says that discussion will include an update from the ASTM Pervious Concrete Subcommittee, with special emphasis on the exclusion of compressive strength testing of pervious concrete.
