The popular NRMCA Parking Lot Boot Camp landed in Salt Lake City last week for two days, June 10-11, reports NRMCA Senior Vice President, National Resources, Jon Hansen. Sponsored by Matt Wood with Ash Grove Cement for Geneva Rock, the 10-hour course was attended by members from both companies along with the paving division of Geneva Rock.

 

"The Salt Lake City venue was our westernmost location for a Parking Lot Boot Camp to date," said Hansen who conducted the Boot Camp with his colleague Amy Miller, senior vice president of promotion. Hansen went on to report that after the camp ended on Thursday he received a call the following day from one of the attendees who had identified a project and wanted to proceed with a Design Assistance Program (DAP) and Concrete Pavement Analysis (CPA) workup on the project.

"This type of quick response to the principles taught during Boot Camp validates the time, effort and financial commitment to put this training effort together," Hansen said. "Showing a company how to expand its market with parking lot paving and understanding it can compete is a win-win for everyone."
