Concrete Sustainability & Long-Term Waterproofing Solutions
08:05 AM - 09:05 AM
This presentation explores the composition of concrete, causes of deterioration, and the benefits of crystalline waterproofing technology. It explains how this technology interacts with concrete to form a network of insoluble crystals, making it impervious to water and harmful materials like chlorides and sulfates while improving indoor air quality. The session highlights how crystalline waterproofing increases durability, extends the service life of new concrete, and provides a sustainable solution for repairing and waterproofing existing structures by preserving embodied carbon. It also covers preventing damage from corrosion, freeze-thaw cycles, ASR, and chemical attack. Participants will learn how this technology streamlines project costs and accelerates construction schedules as well as see real-world applications across various industries.

The Benefits of 100% Offsite Fabricated Stainless Steel Railing Systems
12:55 PM - 01:55 PM
Explore the advantages of integrating 100% offsite fabrication into the design of the ornamental railing you specify in your architectural projects.
When compared to local fabrication, Offsite fabrication of custom-designed railing systems not only dramatically improves product quality, it also minimizes project waste, reduces product costs, and streamlines construction processes. Offsite Fabrication = Value Engineering!
In this presentation you will learn how architects, designers, and engineers can reduce overall project costs and improve project outcomes by specifiying architectural products which have been custom-designed to precisely fit each project, and then prefabricated to completion offsite, while helping builders and contractors achieve greater efficiency.
