Engineers, architects, contractors, and vendors are invited to participate in ICRI-NE’s Back to Basics Boot Camp & Trade Show: Concrete Repair 101 , a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge and grow their business. This full-day series of seminars will dive deep into each of the four steps of a typical concrete repair: Demolition, Surface preparation, Material selection, and Placement of the repair.  

Each topic will be co-presented by an engineer and a contractor or material supplier, to provide two important perspectives – both technical and practical.   

Participants will Learn:
  • The methods of demolition and their technical, safety, and cost implications
  • Why surface preparation is crucial, and the pros and cons of different methods
  • The important properties of repair materials and the wide variety available
  • Best practices for the placement of the repair and overcoming on-site challenges
  • Other practical tips and techniques helpful to practicing industry professionals

Participants will Enjoy:
  • Plenty of free parking 
  • Breaks throughout the day, to socialize, network, and explore vendor exhibits
  • Breakfast, lunch, and a social hour with appetizers & cash bar following the presentations

Participants will Receive:
  • A customized New England ICRI Padfolio
  • Copies of the presentation handouts
