Concrete and Concrete Repair School

October 27-29, 2009

Instruction in concrete and concrete repair techniques and needs common throughout the bureau of Reclamation is not readily available from other sources outside the bureau. Therefore, the Materials Engineering and Research Laboratory will feature instruction and hands-on training at the 3-day Concrete and Concrete Repair School.

The course will focus on the newest standards, techniques, and materials. Ample time will be made available for hands-on exercises that will ensure each student develops knowledge of how to apply the learning experience to problems encountered in the field.

What you will learn: This training will cover concrete construction methods to include quality evaluation of concrete aggregates, concrete materials testing, new construction practices, techniques for repairing existing concrete structures, causes of concrete damage and methods to identify causes of damage. Participants will gain familiarity with materials used such as chemical and mineral admixtures and standard and non-standard repair materials.

Who Should Attend: This course is intended for engineers, technicians, specification writers, technical project managers, and other staff associated with construction and repair of water resources structures.

Location: This training will be offered October 27-29, 2009, at the Denver Federal Center, Building 56 Laboratories. Class will begin at 8:00 a.m. and conclude at 4:00 p.m.
