MCAA Holds First In-House Wallbracing Seminar

By Rashod R. Johnson, P.E.

On March 13, 2004, MCAA's Director of Engineering, Rashod R. Johnson taught a 4 hour Wall Bracing Design Seminar at Otto Baum Company, Inc in Morton IL. Otto Baum is a long time member of the MCAA and needed some wall bracing training for 29 of their foremen. The four hour course was very helpful and informative. By the end of the seminar, most of the foremen stated they were much more comfortable erecting masonry wall bracing than before they took the course.

If your company needs Wall Bracing Seminars, please contact Rashod R. Johnson, MCAA's Director of Engineering to book your in-house seminar.
