Kentucky Engineers, Consultants Briefed on Specifying with Concrete

"We had spoken to a similar group regarding the proper way to design, but failed to explain to them the missed opportunities of not having a concrete specification in every job they bid," Miller said. "Owners can’t afford NOT to have an equivalent concrete specification on every job. Having concrete in the specification saves money and, in this case, the taxpayers of Kentucky are the ones missing out on those savings."

The meeting was well attended and the consultants and owners alike discussed incorporating concrete to alleviate those missed cost saving opportunities, Miller added.
