Monday, October 2
1:45 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.
Results of the 2016 Industry Data
Survey
We will review the results of the
2016 edition of the NRMCA Industry
Data Survey and will also discuss
possible outcomes for the current year
given varying economic and political
considerations. Detailed information
concerning components of a cubic yard
of concrete will be discussed as well as
trend analysis of various industry metrics.
You won’t want to miss this session as the
information in the NRMCA Industry Data
Survey is a unique compilation of data.
Truck Talk: Mixers, Engines and
Transmissions
Mixer truck manufacturing and technology
is constantly evolving. Every year there
are new questions about mixer truck parts,
maintenance, purchasing, etc. This session
aims to provide answers to many of those
lingering questions by providing a forum
for a panel of manufacturers of mixer
trucks, engines and transmissions to give
presentations about their newest product
lines.
Quadruple the Quantity of Concrete on
Building Projects Using the Concrete
Design Center
This session will present the strategies and
tactics for converting projects from wood
to concrete using the Build with Strength
Concrete Design Center. Key members of
the NRMCA building promotion team will
outline the steps they take to approach
key developers to present concrete options
for low/mid-rise building projects. They will
describe how concrete producers can take
advantage of the Concrete Design Center
to quadruple the quantity of concrete used
on building projects. The session will also
describe the tools and analytics NRMCA
has to help members identify key projects
and developers in their area and how they
can facilitate introductions to the Concrete
Design Center and the NRMCA team.
Ready Mixed Concrete for Pavements
Concrete mixtures for slip-form paving
can be challenging. The mixture should
be workable and without potential to
edge slump. It should not crack and
the pavement must be durable to last
a long time under some very tough
environments; importantly, concrete should
be competitive in low-bid contracts.
This presentation will discuss the basics
of designing, delivering and assuring
a mixture that meets these needs using
locally available materials.
3:15 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.
Cyber Security Issues
1. Viruses, Phishing attacks and data
security
2. Recent Hazards and frauds
3. Ransomware
4. Expenditure cycle frauds
5. Imposter scams: a. Wire transfer
requests from imposters posing as senior
executives;
b. Employee payroll information requests;
c. Customer data information request
HR Highlights (three, 20-minute
presentations)
Leading by Influence, not Authority
Those in senior and middle manager
positions are judged by the success of their
staff. As a result, in this session managers
will learn about how using influence
or personal power, rather than their
authority, will get employees buy-in, thus
improving communications and productivity
throughout the organization. Everyone
possesses the potential to be powerful
(influential). Increase your effectiveness as
a leader from executive coach Rick Kolster,
Peak Performance Group.
Federally Registered Apprenticeships:
An Exciting Opportunity for Mixer
Driver Recruitment
A labor shortage of mixer drivers is
among NRMCA members’ most critical
concerns, but creating a Registered
Apprenticeship program can enhance
your recruiting and retention efforts and
potentially offset training costs. FASTPORT,
the U.S. Department of Labor’s industry
intermediary for the Transportation &
Logistics sector, will outline how to develop
a related training instruction (RTI) and
on-the-job (OTJ) training program being
followed by industry leaders. Emphasis will
be on best practices and funding resources
available to Registered Apprenticeship
programs.
Recent Employment and Labor
Law Initiatives Are Changing Your
Workplace. Are you Aware?
Learn about the Department of Labor’s
and the National Labor Relations Board’s
(NLRB) rulemakings and decisions that
impact both union and non-union ready
mixed concrete companies. This session

will highlight the concerns that have
evolved over the last 8 years and what the
landscape may look like as we get further
into the Trump Presidency.
PaveAhead: A Consistent Message for
Local Paving Promotion and Technical
Support
The PaveAhead brand was developed to
provide a recognizable platform for local
paving with NRMCA members and our
external industry partners and clients. The
intent of branding the local paving efforts
is to repeatedly communicate, in multiple
ways with frequency and consistency,
the beneficial attributes of ready mixed
paving products to our members’ client
base. This session will tie together all the
platforms available to promote, sell and
technically support street and parking lot
projects. NRMCA staff will introduce the
PaveAhead website and Design Center,
available industry material for promotion
and technical support, and educational
activities aimed at project level pursuits.
ConcreteWorks Software for Mass
Concrete and Other Applications
ConcreteWorks software was funded and is
used by TX DOT in its project specifications.
It includes modules that can develop a
thermal control plan for mass concrete,
predict service life of concrete related to
corrosion of reinforcing steel, prediction
of strength based on maturity, predict
potential for plastic and drying shrinkage,
and various other concepts to optimize
concrete mixtures. Many of the predictive
capabilities of the embedded models have
been validated on actual structures. The
presentation will outline the basis of the
models with interesting case studies.
Tuesday, October 3
10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Trumpanomics and the Concrete
Industry
The concrete industry grew 2% in what was
supposed to be a robust economy. Will
President Trump get his infrastructure bill
passed? How will economic policies under
the Trump administration affect the ready
mixed concrete industry?

Environmental Highlight - Caution –
Diesel Fuel
Have you had an issue with eroded fuel
lines or fuel storage tanks? Are you aware
that that scenario could be materializing
right now without you knowing? Due to new
environmental fuel regulations, diesel fuel
has and does pose a concern for ready
mixed concrete producers. This session will
detail the threat and what your company
can do to protect against an accident.
State and Local Legislative Strategies
that Favor Concrete Construction
This session will present the strategies and
tactics you can take to introduce legislation
and regulations at the state and local level
that can favor concrete construction. It will
present the tools and resources available
from NRMCA, including lobbying advice,
bill writing, outreach and coalition building.
NRMCA has a library of model legislations
to address fire safety, resilience and
sustainability, each of which place concrete
in a favorable position. The session will also
provide recommendations for defeating
legislation that is detrimental to concrete
at the state and local level and tie directly
into NRMCA’s Build with Strength campaign
that provides resources to help members
and state affiliates advocate for resilient
construction, including model legislation,
talking points and public relations.
Innovations in Concrete Materials Technology
(three 20-minute presentations)
Control Flow Concrete: The Next
Generation of Flowable Concrete
High slump concrete has been around
for 30+ years and Self Consolidating
Concrete (SCC) is now in its 2nd decade.
Control flow concrete, a type of SCC,
uses new technology to allow 24 in. slump
flow with low powder contents and typical
aggregate gradations and ratios.
IoT Solutions for Ready Mix Producers
As the Internet of Things (IoT) permeates
our daily lives, so too is this technology
beginning to enter the concrete industry.
Novel IoT solutions will be presented along
with project examples of field application
and ready mix producer evaluations.
Schedule and topics are subject to change, check the Web site for updates.
“Concrete Delivery Telematics –
Unlocking the Easter Egg in the Truck”
In this day of computerized batch plants,
we typically know all the details about
how concrete is batched. Then the
concrete goes into a truck and disappears
into a wasteland of ambiguity. Today,
through a combination of on-board
computers, GPS and instrumentation,
we can know more about what happens
to the concrete delivery truck than ever
before. Information about location, truck
condition, driving conditions and concrete
characteristics are at our fingertips. In
this session, attendees will learn about
some of the latest capabilities in concrete
telematics.
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
State of the Industry
We will discuss the current state of the
ready mixed concrete industry from both
the short and long-term perspectives and
address such topics as population growth,
current and historic ready mix production
levels, Federal government intervention
and other factors on the horizon regarding
the industry in evaluating the state of
business.
Safety Highlights (three 20-minute
presentations)
OSHA’s Impending Silica Rule: Industry
Needs To Know
Absent any regulatory relief, in June 2018
the ready mixed concrete industry will be
required to comply with a new, expensive
and burdensome silica rule. This session
will provide guidance from producers on
silica testing, potential plant exposure
areas and common remedies.
Truck Rollovers in the Ready Mixed
Concrete Industry
This session will detail the preliminary
results of the 2017 NRMCA Rollover
Survey. The survey will paint a picture of
current mixer truck rollover trends in the
industry compared to previous years.
Safety Rundown
From regulatory changes to citizen suits
enforcing those regulations, this education
session will cover updates on the latest
safety issues, how they impact ready
 1 0 | N R M C A’ s C o n c r e t e W o r k s 2 0 1 7

mixed concrete producers and what the

industry can expect with the new Trump
Administration’s policies.

NRMCA and Contractor Partnering: A

Success Model for Moving Your Paving
Market
This session will present the strategies
and tactics that concrete producers and
concrete contractors can use to partner,
sell, convert and build concrete paving
projects. Members of the NRMCA local
paving promotion team and an ASCC
contractor will outline the steps they
take to approach key clients to present
concrete options for street and parking
lot projects. They will also describe how
concrete producers can take advantage
of the PaveAhead Design Center and Boot
Camps to convert projects to concrete.
Lastly, the session will cover how NRMCA
staff uses available data sources to help
members and contractors identify projects,
engineers and developers in their area
and use this information to successfully
gain paving market share.

How Can Mixer Drivers Positively

Impact the Quality of Concrete
Ready mixed driver professionals have an
impact on the condition of truck mixers and
maintain custody of the product from the
point concrete is batched to the point it is
delivered to the jobsite. They are often the
sole representatives of the company at the
jobsite and can document several aspects
that can either impact the quality or cause
an acceptable load to be rejected by
improper testing. This seminar will provide
ideas on how to empower drivers to
positively impact quality of concrete.
