Topic:      Removing Concrete Moisture from the Construction Process - B122
Sponsor:  Barrier One - Solomon Clift
When:     June 16th
Where:    Beaumont Public Library 12:00 pm :: 1 AIA LU/HSW 

This course provides an in depth examination of the epidemic issue of new construction concrete slabs not being able to pass flooring and roofing field moisture testing guidelines in today's compressed building cycle.  The ramification of such equates to an additional and often un-budgeted billion dollars plus a year being spent on expensive, disruptive, and time consuming moisture mitigation systems. The root cause is embedded in the current flawed process for assessing slab moisture prior to final slab covering and is entrenched by the mistaken beliefs that, (1) new slabs can actually pass such tests within the construction schedule and (2), should the slabs pass that a warranty against a future moisture failure will convey.   This program reviews the magnitude of the problem, discusses the various causes, and offers proactive solutions that enable project teams to remove concrete moisture from the construction process effectively, efficiently and with liability truly mitigated.

Good News!
