You will learn:

  • How changing construction economics may change your mind about concrete.
  • Why concrete parking lots are the standard in the Houston and DFW metro areas.
  • Why ACI 330 is the appropriate design guide to use for parking lots—and not AASHTO.
  • Why today’s best practices in parking lot design make yesterday’s standards obsolete.
  • When should steel reinforcing and dowels be used—if at all.
  • Why pervious concrete is considered a “best management practice” for stormwater runoff by the U.S. EPA.
  • How pervious concrete can maximize development on a given property.

Concrete parking lots provide beautiful, long lasting, low maintenance solutions for commercial and public buildings.  They also are a sustainable solution that can help gain LEED™ points.   

Attendees will learn the most current best practices in economic evaluation, design, and construction of concrete parking lots, through presentations by industry experts.  

This course is intended for civil and geotechnical engineers, architects, landscape architects, public works officials, and others who design parking lots and similar hardscaping.  Contractors, product suppliers and land developers will also benefit from this seminar.  5 PDH's will be offered.

Your registration includes four American Concrete Institute printed guides and specifications* (a retail value of over $200) due to a special limited arrangement with ACI.  These resources more than pay for the cost of the seminar!
