Latest in a series on key issues for concrete contractors

By Beverly A. Garnant

The American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC), St. Louis, Mo., has published Position Statement #27, the latest in a series of papers on key issues of interest to concrete contractors.

“Formed Surface Requirements for Waterproofed Walls” explains the level of finish ASCC contractors will provide for waterproofed walls based on ACI specifications.

“The position papers deal with issues that constantly cause concern for concrete contractors,” says D. Thomas Ruttura, a past president of ASCC. “The better we can explain to designers and specifiers what can and cannot be expected from concrete, the more likely we are to have a successful project. These Position Statements go a long way towards telling that story.”

Copies of all of the Position Statements may be ordered by calling toll free at 866-788-2722 or online at www.ascconline.org.
