THIS IS A TWO-DAY CLASS THAT WILL BE HELD OCTOBER 6-7, 2020

An Adhesive Anchor Installer is an individual who has demonstrated the ability to read, comprehend, and execute instructions to properly install adhesive anchors in concrete. The Adhesive Anchor Installer must also demonstrate possession of the knowledge to properly assess ambient conditions, concrete condition, materials, equipment, and tools for installing adhesive anchors and determine when it is appropriate to proceed with installation of an adhesive anchor or when additional guidance from a supervisor/foreman/project engineer is needed.

Certification Requirements:  ACI will grant certification only to those applicants who obtain a passing grade on both the written examination and performance examinations.

A certified Post-Installed Concrete Anchor Installation Inspector* is an individual who has demonstrated the knowledge required to properly inspect the installation of post-installed adhesive and mechanical anchors in concrete. The Inspector must understand the responsibilities and qualification requirements of the Installer, inspection requirements as cited in the documents governing the construction of the project, and the process governing the qualification of anchor systems.

*This expanded program includes and covers all of the Adhesive Anchor Installation Inspector program materials; certification candidates are now directed to this program for concrete anchor inspection certification.

Certification Requirements:  ACI will grant certification only to those applicants who obtain a passing grade on both the written examination and performance examinations.

This will be a TWO HOUR webinar.  The presenter is Scott Tarr, PE, FACI (North S.Tarr Concrete Consulting).

Anyone who has watched a building under construction can appreciate its complexity and sophistication. Occasionally, inspection and testing requirements occur that the local code official may not be qualified or experienced to address, so third-party assistance is needed. The building codes address this need through a specific requirement for structural tests and “special” inspections. A special inspection can be required for materials, installation, fabrication, erection or placement of components and connections where special expertise is needed.  This presentation will cover the requirement of special inspections as well as some examples of when construction testing and inspections did not go as planned.  

The presenters will be:
Rob Flickinger - Senior Engineer/Manager @ American Engineering Testing
Rob Flickinger is the manager of construction services at American Engineering Testing.  He has a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota and has been involved in construction observation and testing since 1981 when he started as an engineering technician.
