Explore what is new in concrete and how it is influencing precast concrete manufacturing and use with Dr. Tyler Ley of Oklahoma State University. Ley was named one of the Most Influential People in the Concrete Industry by Concrete Construction Magazine and is a popular YouTuber on everything concrete. Great opportunity to listen to an award-winning educator whose passion for concrete has led him and his students to find new ways to make this durable material even better.
Discover the many uses for precast concrete structures in onsite decentralized wastewater treatment applications and to which standards they should conform. Find out how producers are designing and manufacturing these structures to meet and exceed quality, durability and strength requirements. A great webinar for onsite wastewater system regulators, inspectors, designers and installers.
Find out how to ensure precast concrete septic tanks are watertight. Examine what methods and materials work best to keep everything in in and everything out out. Essential knowledge for onsite wastewater system regulators, inspectors, designers and installers.
Learn more about stormwater and sanitary sewer structures such as manholes, inlets, catch basins and vaults and how adherence to industry standards such as ASTM and ACI helps ensure the highest quality product. See how precast concrete producers design and manufacture their products to meet or exceed these stringent standards. This session will provide essential information to assist regulators, specifiers, designers, inspectors, and contractors to minimize risk and maximize value.
This free webinar package was assembled by NPCA specifically for Department of Transportation personnel.
| SPECIFY WITH CONFIDENCE

Specifiers rely on NPCA to provide qualified evaluations of precast operations to ensure manufacturers maintain the highest industry standards. Today, over 75% of DOTs recognize the NPCA Plant Certification and there are over 375 NPCA-certified plans in North America.

SIMPLIFY YOUR CALCULATIONS
NPCA developed the Stormwater Detention/Retention Calculator to simplify calculations that engineers typically use in designing stormwater systems for underground detention/retention. It’s free to use.

FEATURED PROJECT
Gainey’s Concrete provided a custom precast concrete solution for the Willow Glen chemical plant to aid the plant in transporting chemicals under a busy Louisiana highway to ships on the Mississippi River. Two days after construction began, the road was back in service, saving valuable time and money.
