FCICA to Host Slab Assessment Webinar

The Flooring Contractors Association (FCICA) will host a Webinar, Slab Assessment Toolkit- Checklists, tests and procedures for identifying potential bond breakers in old concrete slabs, Thursday, Aug. 18 at 11 a.m. EST.

Mac Krauss and Alex Rogers, senior substrate sleuths at AC•Tech | Allied Construction Technologies, will present the American Institute of Architects (AIA) approved session.

The Webinar will explore what makes old concrete such a challenging substrate for successful commercial flooring installations? What can floor mechanics, estimators, project managers and specifying architects do ahead-of-time to avoid costly delays, paralyzing litigation and outright failures in their final flooring systems?

This nuts and bolts interactive session will detail the specific types of “bond-breaker” problems flooring installers confront when they arrive on the deck, the checklists/tests/best practices they can use to mitigate these problems and the steps the design-build team, specifying architects and project estimators can take ahead-of-time to empower flooring mechanics with slab analysis data. A case will be made for not making such critical testing data a discretionary “if needed” item subject to last-minute budget squabbles in the project trailer.

The registration deadline is Wednesday, Aug. 18 at 3 p.m. EST.
