An Open Letter to the Future Leaders of the ASA
By Oscar Duckworth, F.ACI
Like many of you, I began my career within a timeframe when shotcrete was practically unknown. Shotcrete, and my business model, were disruptive innovations to the established methodology for concrete construction in my region. And if you look at history, disruptors never have an easy path. Shotcrete was not the established method in the concrete industry. Specifiers wanted cast concrete, not some new and unknown material — so every job had to be built upon human relationships.
We looked them in the eyes, promoting shotcrete to those who didn’t believe it could work. We made commitments. Shook hands. Pressed flesh. Gave away valuable time. And occasionally failed. It was a time when the shotcrete process needed credibility and had none.
