Most paving and pavement maintenance contractors do little if any concrete work, preferring instead to pass it along to a concrete contractor. But why give away work if you and your crew can handle the job yourself, generating additional revenue and making your company that much more valuable to your clients? In this new concrete basics session, developed especially with NPE contractors in mind, you’ll learn the basics of concrete repair, replacement and construction, starting with estimating and how to order concrete. Then you’ll learn how to construct and repair small slabs and dumpster pads and how to repair catch basins and damaged curbing. These are the typical small projects NPE contractors face – and they’re jobs most concrete contractors don’t want because they’re not worth their time or money. It’s best to self-perform these small jobs, and you’ll leave this session with the knowledge and basic skills to do just that.
