SUMMARY:Box Production
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 8 \nSpeakers: Tom Umek – IEC\nLarry Neumann – Northern Concrete Pipe \nDescription: \nThis course will guide you through the entire manufacturing process of making reinforced concrete boxes. We have cages\, we have concrete and now we must put it in a form and efficiently produce high quality boxes. Master the correct way to set up and maintain a form including vibrator mounts if needed. Checking vibrators for correct placement\, type\, size\, weight settings and proper working order. What are the secrets to pouring flowable concrete boxes which includes both wet cast and SCC? Learn how to make those dry cast boxes look good by using correct vibration techniques and good fill times. When stripping DC products what are the quality expectations and how are they insured? How long before wet cast and SCC can be stripped? What is adequate curing that meets specs and what are the indicators that tell us it is not ready to be stripped? We will also discuss how to avoid slumping and haunch cracks and effective procedures for minimizing bugholes. We will conclude with proper tipout\, yarding and storage procedures. \nSpeaker Bios:  \nTom worked in production for 30 years.
