· U.S. Construction Industry in Doldrums – A recent survey of U.S. companies that build highways, buildings and sewers found nine in 10 predicting their business will not rebound in 2010 from depressed levels. Based on the responses of some 700 contractors across the United States, 88% of the firms do not expect overall conditions to improve before 2011 and some will likely go out of business, the Associated General Contractors of America said. The industry is widely considered a bellwether for the economy as an indicator of spending on infrastructure, rebuilding and business expansion, and it has a ripple effect in terms of purchases of construction materials and equipment. Source: January 20 posting by the Reuters news service: click here.

· U.S. Embassy in Haiti Survives with Minimal Damage – The U.S. embassy in Haiti is one of the rare significant structures in Port-au-Prince to have survived the Jan. 12, 7.0 magnitude earthquake with only minor damage, none of it structural. Rod Evans, the State Department’s Bureau of Overseas Building Operations embassy project director, says the preferred earthquake-resisting system, to include the one used in Port-au-Prince, is reinforced concrete shear walls. All other building systems, including mechanical, electrical and fire protection, must also be constructed to withstand the stresses of an earthquake. The embassy in Port-au-Prince was designed for “high” seismic design criteria as well as wind loading of 45 meters/sec (100 miles per hour). Engineering News-Record posted the story on January 28.

·  Selling Concrete Parking Lots The perception among building owners and specifiers is that a concrete parking lot may be better but it's considerably more expensive than asphalt. No matter how many times they hear about life-cycle costs or sustainability, the decision usually comes back to initial cost. Well, guess what—initial cost is no longer an issue. NRMCA’s Mid-Atlantic Senior National Resource Director Phil Kresge was among those interviewed for this January story in Concrete Construction magazine: read more.

NRMCA Introduces Concrete Overlays Flip Book

During a time of slow new construction, maintenance of existing property becomes the focus of many owners. What better way to show a customer a long lasting, bright, durable, cost effective alternative to an asphalt overlay? NRMCA’s new Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots flip book provides a primer to an industry promoter, concrete sales person or concrete contractor on the proven technology of using concrete to overlay and renew existing asphalt parking lots. Based heavily on information taken from the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center’s Guide to Concrete Overlays and submissions from designers and contractors that have successfully done concrete overlays on asphalt parking lots, this book touches on:

• "How and Why" concrete overlays work

• "Rules of Thumb" for evaluating and exiting parking lot and determining  concrete thickness

• "Best Practices" for placing concrete overlays

• "Quick Case Studies" of successful projects

All packed in 20 pages in popular flip book format, including presenter notes, this newest offering to the NRMCA flip book series will help the newest to the most seasoned person in the concrete industry present the benefits of concrete overlays as a proven rehabilitation method for asphalt parking lots along with addressing the most common questions.

Special introductory price of $25, until February 15, normally valued at $29. Click here to order online or contact NRMCA’s Jacques Jenkins at jjenkins@nrmca.org.

 

NRMCA Helps Promote Concrete at International Builders Trade Show

Cement and concrete industry product applications were on display to attendees at the recent International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas, reports NRMCA Midwest Senior National Resource Director Jon Hansen. Invited to participate in the Portland Cement Association exhibit were people representing the concrete roofing industry, permeable concrete pavers, above grade concrete wall options, pervious concrete, and heat island reduction and maintenance of parking lots with concrete applications. 

Hansen spoke with exhibit visitors about pervious concrete and the affect concrete paving has on reducing heat island. A number of contractors visiting the exhibit were given information on either NRMCA ready mix producer members or local associations for additional help upon returning home. Even though attendance was down a little from the 2009 show where 61,200 people attended, the 2010 IBS counted around 60,000 attendees for the 4-day event.

Sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders, IBS is the largest annual building industry trade show in the country and offers more than 175 education sessions taught by industry experts. The 2011 IBS will be in Orlando, FL from January 12-15.

For more information, contact Jon Hansen at jhansen@nrmca.org.

 

NRMCA Attends CenTex Sustainable Communities Conference

NRMCA’s South Central Senior Resource Director Vance Pool recently attended the CenTex Sustainable Communities Conference held in Killeen, TX. The event also included representatives from the Army’s largest base, Ft. Hood, EPA and the Texas communities of Kileen, Harker Heights, Gatesville and Copperas Cove, and was intended to drive sustainability in this high growth area of 250,000 residents. The keynote speaker was the mayor of Greensburg, KS, the town devastated by a tornado which is now rebuilding a green city. Click here to view how Americans turned devastation into an opportunity in that community.

Pool touted the environmental advantages of concrete in helping solve many of the issues this Texas region faces. While Sean Van Delist of the Cement Council of TX (CCT) was unable to attend, he facilitated both an NRMCA certified pervious contractor and an ICF builder in the area there to exhibit. A SIPS (structural insulated panel) manufacturer also exhibited. SIPs panels are sandwich panels of oriented strand board (or plywood or similar) facings with a foam insulation adhered in the center. They are a significant competitor in the ICF space and seem to have some traction with architects in many markets. Unbeknown to NRMCA prior to this event was a 40,000 square foot pervious installation that has been in place for a number of years at Ft. Hood.

“ICF (traditional and tilt), pervious, local streets and roads, and all things sustainable about concrete were our industry’s messages,” Pool said.

For more information, contact Vance Pool at vpool@nrmca.org.

 

West Coast EPA Region More Receptive to Concrete's Environmental Message

“While the U.S. EPA’s stringent enforcement of stormwater and other regulations certainly can challenge the ready mixed concrete industry in some respects, there is an increasingly substantial upside when we choose to go there from a product promotional perspective,” said NRMCA Vice President, National Resources, Dan Huffman. “Of course this relates to our continuing opportunity for the promotion of pervious and conventional concrete pavements regarding their shared and respective environmental properties.”

Huffman recently met with the EPA’s Region 9 associate director of water at EPA’s regional headquarters in San Francisco. He reports that the region will post on its Web site technical documents supplied by NRMCA supporting EPA’s designation of the appropriate use of pervious concrete as among EPA’s Recommended Best Management Practices (BMPs) for compliance with federal stormwater regulations. EPA also agreed that NRMCA can supply non-proprietary video and printed case histories of successful projects to appear on its Web site and to also expand NRMCA’s presence in its workshops in connection with BMPs. 

Additionally, that EPA senior manager also agreed to discuss NRMCA with her counterpart in another location with the primary responsibility for overall compliance in Region 9. EPA Region 9 administers federal environmental authority over California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, 140 Native American Tribal Nations and a host of Pacific Islands.

“We see the signs all over the place that the EPA is becoming ever more supportive of the environmental benefits of our product and how that might be directed in the marketplace,” Huffman said. “NRMCA’s national resource directors and other staff are aggressively pursuing EPA on the basis of both sides working against the middle as we focus on them regionally across the nation and directly on its headquarters in Washington, DC.”

OES News and Notes

· The new DOT CSA 2010 flyer along with a few of the more common questions and answers. A must read for anyone involved in safety and training.

 

· Green-Star update – There are now 76 Green-Star Auditors and 72 Green-Star plants.  The Green-Star plants that were certified in January 2010 are:

               Green-Star Plant #71: Meyer Material Company – Hartland, WI

                              Green-Star Plant #72: Meyer Material Company – Algonquin, IL

NRMCA congratulates producer member Meyer Materials for implementing comprehensive environmental management systems at each plant.

 

· Regulatory Alert - The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has completed all four of the listening sessions, with the remaining listening session via internet and scheduled for today. The majority of the speakers have asked the DOT to leave the HOS regulations as they currently are with the exception of modifying the sleeper berth regulations.

· Regulatory Alert - The EPA has now held all five of the public listening sessions in connection with its plan to establish a comprehensive program to reduce stormwater discharges from new development and redevelopment and to make other regulatory improvements to strengthen its stormwater program. NRMCA President Robert Garbini explained the benefits of pervious concrete for stormwater control at new and redeveloped sites. He also asked the EPA to assist industries with compliance assistance and equitable enforcement, stressing that companies want to comply but the regulations are very confusing and some contradict each other.

Industry News

CIM Program Students at Chico State Perform Community Service

Concrete Industry Management (CIM) students from California State University, Chico recently helped build two housing dwellings as part of the Catalyst Program which provides temporary living facilities for victims of domestic violence. Chico State took on the name, Blitz Build for this project, because of the short time it had to complete the construction. Tanya Komas, Chico CIM program director, and the CIM students took on the concrete portion of the project, including foundations, slabs on grade, sidewalks and driveways.

The project is the most recent in a series of projects performed by CIM students. From 2006-2008 students traveled to New Orleans to take part in the Rebuild New Orleans Program. Because of the damage from wild fires in Butte County, CA, in 2008, students also did a project in Concow, near Oroville, to build storage units for victims of the fires.

Chico students will also help build a memorial this week to honor firefighters who lost their lives in the 9/11 disaster in New York City. Students attending the annual World of Concrete trade show and conference in Las Vegas will help erect two eight-foot towers inscribed with the names of 56 fallen firefighters on a special reflective concrete exterior. The memorial will be later reassembled and installed in a memorial park across the street from the firehouse in New York as part of 9/11 10th anniversary events in 2011.

Click here to view a video of the time lapse photography from the slabs to completion. For more information about NRMCA’s support of the CIM program, contact Nicole Maher at nmaher@nrmca.org.
