One of my favorite materials to work with, concrete is remarkable. It's flexible. You can pour it into a form of any shape, any size. It will conform to that shape and produce a very interesting looking result. Concrete is strong and durable but attention to detail is critical. Quality control in the field is essential to achieve the best results. This class reviews in detail the procedures required to achieve success. The appearance of the finished structure is emphasized. H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 11/15/21 The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act will rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails, expand access to clean drinking water, ensure every American has access to high-speed internet, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and invest in communities that have too often been left behind. Now that funds are available, the challenge is to develop the workforce necessary to successfully execute this ambitious program. We have compiled eighteen one-hour classes focused on the basic means and methods of constructing Infrastructure Projects. The media rich content demonstrates   construction details common to a wide variety of projects and will be invaluable to designers, builders and owners and help to insure successful outcomes.
