    Presentation Description:

    This presentation will discuss both the process of repair as well as the some of the more common causes and repair methods and products.  The goal of the presentation is for all the attendees to leave with a better understand of what causes concrete to need repairs, what solutions are available in the market and some of the important steps in the repair process.  The presentation will reference ICRI (International Concrete Repair Institute) best practices and documents.  We will also discuss issues an engineer should be aware of when inspecting repair work as it is being completed.  One hour of continuing education credit will be awarded to those who attend.
