NRMCA Assists with Concrete Pavement Workshop in Wyoming

Last week, NRMCA partnered with the Wyoming Technology Transfer Center and the American Concrete Pavement Association's Colorado/Wyoming chapter to bring ”Key Steps for Building a Successful Concrete Project” to Buffalo and Cheyenne, WY. Jamie Johnson, PE, a pavement engineer for the chapter; Dave Figurski, PE, technical services engineer, LafargeHolcim, and NRMCA Vice President, Local Paving, Don Clem, presented the latest innovations in concrete design and construction of concrete pavements, including an overview of proper construction techniques for concrete flatwork, concrete overlays, NRMCA's Design Assistance Program and other industry resources.

The programs were attended by about 30 professionals from WYDOT, the cities of Casper, Cheyenne and Laramie, several engineering firms, cement and ready mixed concrete companies, and a general contractor. Shown here are Dave Figurski, LafargeHolcim (at left), and Larry Saunders, Mountain Cement Company, demonstrating the impact of variables and admixtures on cement slurry mixes.
