World Of Concrete 2014 Las Vegas, NV

The ACI Commercial/Industrial Finishing Certification class and exam, led by Bob Simonelli and Jerry Holland of Structural Services Inc. completed a concrete slab at World of Concrete 2014 in Las Vegas, NV. The fiber used was a commercial/industrial macro fiber dosage of 7.5 lbs/cubic yards typical of column-line floor slab use, and reinforced 12 cubic yards of concrete. Trainees were required to place and finish the demo slab, and show competence under a variety of conditions.

The high-fiber concrete placed, floated, and finished extremely well, and caused no issues with regards to surface finish or flatness and levelness. Over 35 contractor personnel participated in the event, with several hundred onlookers from all across the concrete construction spectrum. FORTA® has donated macro fiber reinforcement to many World of Concrete events over the years, including a macro fiber pervious concrete application for the new ACI logo placement that was created during the show. FORTA® celebrated their 33rd World of Concrete, missing only the first 7 years of show existence.
