THIS IS A TWO-DAY CLASS THAT WILL BE HELD DECEMBER 17-18, 2019

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.

ACI will grant certification only to those applicants who attain passing grades on the ACI written examinations and attend an adhesive anchor installation practice session, which must include the vertical down and vertical up installations utilizing both system types (retaining cap and piston plug).

The Synergy: Performance Based Specifications and Sustainability will be presented by Colin Lobo, PhD, PE (NRMCA). 

Do specifications for concrete construction cause it to be less competitive in the sustainability arena? This presentation will outline the benefits of performance specifications in progressing quality, innovation, and sustainability.  Recommendations and resources for changing current specifications will be discussed.

Registration opens at 7:00 am.  A full hot breakfast buffet will be served beginning at 7:15 am.  The presentation will begin at 8:00 am and will conclude by 9:00 am.
