Looking to the Future

By Charles S. Hanskat, PE, FACI, FASCE, ASA Executive Director

This issue of Shotcrete magazine for another year puts the spotlight on the cool things we do with shotcrete placement in concrete construction. Many times, shotcrete is the only viable way to build a complex concrete section. Other times it is simply the most efficient and sustainable method. The winners of our Outstanding Shotcrete Project awards exemplify the quality, innovation, creativity and commitment our shotcrete contractors bring to the concrete industry.

Deadlines are fast approaching!
