SHEA CONCRETE PRODUCTS HOSTS 5TH TECHNICAL ENGINEERING SEMINAR WITH A NEW TWIST

By: STL.NEWS

On November 14th, Shea Concrete Products of Amesbury, MA hosted the fifth and final 2018 Technical Engineering Seminar with focus on the ReCon Retaining Wall System. In an effort to add more value an installation demonstration was included to show attendees how efficiently the ReCon system goes together and flexibility options based on retaining wall block types. This was included as part of the manufacturing plant “hard-hat” tour.

This seminar offered a half-day of technical learning from ReCon’s Director of Engineering and Shea Concrete’s internal team that supports the ReCon product line. The sessions included opening remarks from Shea Concrete President Greg Stratis, detailed product line information from ReCon’s Mike Klotthor (Dir. of Engineering), and Larry Cutts & Ted Dimando (Shea’s internal ReCon support team) reviewing all behind-the-scenes services that Shea Concrete provides to support engineers, specifiers and contractors through a retaining wall project to ensure a quality installation.

“When it comes to educating industry professionals on the value that the ReCon system can bring to a project as well as the tools available through ReCon, no one does it better than Shea. From their in-house support and on-site training to production capabilities and product availability, Shea continually strives to provide a superior experience for their customers.” – Michael Klotthor, PE (Director of Engineering – ReCon)

Shea Concrete also offered guests a tour of their state-of-art precast concrete manufacturing facility and headquarters. The new headquarters, which opened in January 2018, was designed with LEED-certification in-mind by utilizing a wide range of sustainable materials and practices, including a roof-mounted solar panel array, sustainable precast concrete construction, brownfield and wastewater considerations, and steps to minimize construction waste throughout the construction process.
