Minneapolis-St. Paul Chapter CSI
April Meeting & Program – “ Precast Concrete Today”
Monday April 14, 2008
317 on Rice Park, St. Paul, MN, 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM.
About the Program:
Precast concrete is as ancient a construction material as the Roman
network of aqueducts, culverts and tunnels. Made with concrete cast in a
reusable mold or "form" and cured in a controlled environment, precast is
then transported to the construction site and lifted into place. Every
day we experience a variety of modern architectural applications of
precast technology including free-standing walls used for landscaping,
soundproofing and security walls; architectural panels and pieces to clad
building facades; and stormwater drainage, water and sewage pipes and
tunnels.
About the Speaker:
Tom Kelley, President of Gage Brothers Concrete Products Incorporated,
will lead a program focusing on new techniques and products utilized in
the manufacture of architectural and structural precast components. Tom
is a registered Professional Engineer and has been employed in the design,
sales and estimating of precast for 28 years. Among his credits are past
PCI Zone 3 Director, past PCI National Board Member, and past AGC
Associate Division President. He is currently a member of the
Architectural Services Committee which has recently completed the new PCI
Handbook.
