SUMMARY:One Day Professional Development BOOT CAMP
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSIONAL BOOT CAMP THEME:  CONCRETE SOLUTIONS:  PROTECT\, REPAIR\, SUSTAIN\nFEATURING: 5 Presentations\, 4.0 PDH Certificate\, Vendor Exhibits\, Breakfast & Lunch\, Raffle & Networking Opportunities\nLOCATION:  Granite Links\, 100 Quary Hills Drive\, Quincy MA\n\nA one-day professional development experience built for engineers\, architects\, and contractors responsible for the design\, detailing\, protection\, and repair of concrete structures. \nThis isn’t theory. It’s practical\, actionable strategy for designing durable concrete structures\, diagnosing deterioration accurately\, specifying smarter repairs\, and navigating industry changes that directly impact project outcomes and client budgets. \nWhether you are designing new structures\, detailing complex rehabilitations\, or managing long-term performance of structures\, this Boot Camp equips you with the insight to make better decisions. \nIN ONE POWERFUL DAY\, YOU WILL:\n> Earn 4.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) from four 1-hour presentations \n> Learn how initial design and detailing decisions influence long-term durability \n> Discover a systematic framework for evaluating multi-factor deterioration \n> Explore detailing strategies for aggressive and cold-climate environments \n> Understand when to specify alternative reinforcement and corrosion mitigation systems \n> Gain insight from 20+ years of MGH garage maintenance \n> Review industry trends shaping repair scope\, cost\, and performance expectations \n> Participate in live panel discussion of real-world challenges and solutions with industry leaders \n> Connect with engineers\, consultants\, contracting professionals and suppliers \n> Visit tabletop exhibits featuring innovative repair products & services \n> Enjoy breakfast\, lunch\, and networking \nYou’ll leave with sharper diagnostic insight\, stronger detailing strategy\, and a clearer understanding of how today’s decisions affect tomorrow’s performance.\nRegister today and strengthen your approach to durable concrete design and repair! \n11 QUESTIONS THIS BOOT CAMP WILL ANSWER\nFor Structural Engineers\, Architects\, and Concrete Repair/Restoration Professionals:\n[1] Why do similar concrete structures perform dramatically differently over time? \n[2] Why do some concrete repairs fail prematurely — even when the design seems sound? \n[3] How do multiple small specification and construction deficiencies align to trigger premature deterioration? \n[4] What is the most effective framework for diagnosing multi-factor concrete distress? \n[5] Which detailing strategies extend service life in chloride-laden and freeze-thaw environments? \n[6] When should stainless reinforcement\, FRP systems\, or cathodic protection be incorporated into repair design? \n[7] How do you balance initial repair cost with long-term life-cycle performance? \n[8] What does a successful 20-year concrete maintenance strategy look like in practice? \n[9] How do contractor execution\, owner expectations\, and engineering decisions intersect over decades of maintenance? \n[10] How are evolving building codes and industry standards influencing concrete repair scope and liability? \n[11] How are building codes\, material trends\, and economic shifts reshaping concrete repair design decisions?

Why do many repairs fail prematurely?\nDr. Schnerch introduces a powerful diagnostic framework based on the Swiss-cheese model\, to help practitioners understand how multiple vulnerabilities align to create failure pathways. This session will transform how you evaluate deterioration\, and design repairs that address root causes\, not just symptoms. \nDesigning for Durable Repairs in Aggressive Environments\nby Ben Rybaltowski – Simpson Gumpertz & Heger\nLearn best practices in detailing\, material specification\, alternative reinforcement systems\, and cathodic protection strategies that extend service life and reduce life-cycle costs.\nIncludes applicable ACI & ICRI guidance and case studies. \n20 Years of Garage Maintenance at MGH\nby Todd Neal – Thornton Tomasetti\nWhat does long-term concrete maintenance really look like?\nA 20-year case study from Massachusetts General Hospital reveals lessons in client collaboration\, contractor coordination\, and phased repair strategy. \nIndustry Trends Keynote\nby Gregg Cohen – Simpson Gumpertz & Heger\nHow are building codes\, materials\, and economic conditions reshaping concrete repair?\nThis keynote will explore regulatory changes\, demolition planning\, material selection\, and how market shifts may impact repair strategies and project costs.

SUMMARY:ICRI-NE Dinner Presentation: Navigating Boston's Facade Ordinance
DESCRIPTION:Our January 20 ICRI-NE Dinner Presentation will feature four (4) local industry experts who will provide participants with the practical information they need to navigate Boston’s Facade Ordinance. \nPRESENTATION SUMMARY:  In 2022\, the City of Boston amended its Facade Ordinance (Section 9-9.12) to strengthen public safety through more rigorous inspections of building exteriors. The Ordinance requires licensed professionals to conduct periodic evaluations of exterior walls and appurtenances and submit certified reports. It applies to buildings over 70 feet in height and vacant structures exceeding 35\,000 cubic feet. Key updates to the Ordinance include specific facade condition classifications—Safe\, Unsafe\, and Safe with a Repair and Maintenance Program—to prevent structural and cladding failures and protect pedestrians and property. \nWiss\, Janney\, Elstner Associates (WJE) brings extensive experience in navigating these requirements and coordinating with Boston’s Inspectional Services Department (ISD)\, particularly when unsafe conditions demand immediate action. Collaboration with skilled masonry contractors\, such as P.J. Spillane Company\, is often critical for temporary stabilization of Boston’s prevalent masonry facades. This presentation will outline compliance requirements\, inspection protocols\, and enforcement mechanisms\, providing building owners and professionals with practical guidance to meet these safety standards. \nSCHEDULE:  5:30 p.m. Networking & Cocktails  |  6:00 p.m. Buffet Dinner  |  6:30 p.m. Presentation (60 minutes)\nLOCATION:  Granite Links\, 100 Quary Hills Drive\, Quincy MA
