NRMCA Senior Director, National Resources, Phil Kresge recently participated in a Concrete Applications Workshop with NRMCA member Cemex held at the Cement and Concrete Technology Center at Cemex’s Mexico City facility. The workshop was an in-house training program for Cemex sales and technical support personnel from Mexico and Central America.

Kresge contributed to the pervious concrete portion of the program, presenting the topic Designing, Specifying and Acceptance Testing of Pervious Concrete. Much of the content for the presentation was taken from the NRMCA’s Pervious Concrete Contractor Certification Program. Other presenters on pervious concrete included Rafael Jimenez and Michael Kohout, both from Cemex USA, and Nathan Mitchell from Bunyan Springs, Inc. Kresge and Mitchell also assisted in a pervious concrete demonstration placement organized by Jimenez and Kohout. As part of the training, attendees were tested on their pervious concrete knowledge, using the review questions from NRMCA's Pervious Concrete Contractor Certification training manual.
