WA ACI Chapter Meeting - October 20, 2021, Ash Grove Tour and Presentation by Greg McKinnon, Stoneway WA ACI Chapter Meeting ~ Climate, Carbon and Concrete presentation on Portland-Limestone Cements ~ Wednesday, June 2, 2021 View Jamie Farny's presentation on portland-limestone cement HERE A Climate, Carbon, and Concrete presentation on Portland-Limestone Cements. This presentation explains what portland-limestone cements (PLC) are and how can they help lead to more sustainable construction. Going beyond PLC's history and uses to new innovations and performance. A significant aspect of PLC is that it lowers concrete carbon emissions by about 10% over more traditional portland cement. Presented by Jamie Farny of the Portland Cement Association. As director, building marketing for the Portland Cement Association, Jamie Farny promotes the use of cement-based materials for various applications by focusing on sustainability, resilience, energy efficiency, durability, and other key benefits. He assisted with the development of PCA’s new campaign to raise awareness of portland-limestone cements (PLCs) for improved sustainability of concrete construction. He is a member of the American Concrete Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and The Masonry Society. He holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. WA ACI Chapter Meeting ~ Climate Pledge Arena ~ Wednesday, May 12, 2021 Presented by Mortenson's Tom Aura, Project Executive, Chris Petersen, Senior Superintendent, Mike Solfelt, Project Engineer, and Jesse Erickson, Quality Engineer " We started our concrete journey with Y-Columns to connect new foundations to the existing historic roof 80’ above. Since then we have placed 250 footings, tied in chevrons, placed sixty-foot tall shotcrete walls around the entire perimeter, completed the south buttress - the most complex reinforcement and placement on the entire project, and placed slab-on-metal-deck and slab-on-grade placements following the steel erection.

WA ACI Chapter Meeting: Ship Canal Water Quality Project ~ Thursday, March 18, 2021 Thank you to Ms. Eleanor A. Jackson, P.E. Ship Canal Water Quality Project Design Manager, Seattle Public Utilities for her very informative presentation on this enormous project SPU and King County have partnered on.
Seattle Public Utilities and King County Wastewater Treatment Division in partnership are jointly building an underground storage tunnel. The Ship Canal Water Quality Project includes a 2.7-mile, 18-ft, and 10-in internal-diameter tunnel that will extend from Ballard to Wallingford. Along the tunnel path, five vertical shafts will be built (in Ballard, East Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, and Wallingford) to convey flows from existing neighborhood systems to the storage tunnel. Construction began in 2018 and will continue through 2025. WA ACI Chapter Meeting Presentation on February 10, 2021 Innovations in Concrete Paving by Somero

In coordination with our examiners and testing locations, we are moving towards meeting certification needs. Where necessary, we created new processes, found new venues, and approaches to certification sessions. You will find when you register online you will need to select a testing time for both written and performance exams. Examinees may choose to wear face coverings but face coverings are no longer required for either indoor or outdoor exams. Update on ACI Certification Process RevisionsCertification process changes to accommodate health and safety guidelines. Changes include:
Performance testing options vary from limited small groups with strict scheduling. Contemplating Remote Performance Review.
ACI also offers online training for the following to support your efforts: Prepare for your upcoming certification test online with the following: Concrete Field Testing Grade I Certification Training (6 Courses) Monthly dinner/chapter meetings are scheduled from October through May on the third Wednesday of each month. Topics include live project tours, reports on technical concrete construction applications, and products and concrete construction methods. 2022-23 WA ACI Event Planning Schedule
Events will be posted in the Event Calendar as they become available. Dates and locations may vary depending on the venue or tour availability.
