Hover Executive Vice President Ron Burg 2 ACI President’s Welcome Welcome to Washington, DC, and the ACI Fall 2014 Convention! ACI’s conventions provide a forum where individuals from across the globe can come together to share ideas and discover innovative ways to use concrete. The ACI Convention offers educational opportunities for personal betterment, committee opportunities for technical advancement, and networking opportunities for professional enrichment. The opportunities are numerous, with over 300 committee meetings, 50+ technical sessions, two exciting student competitions, and numerous networking events, culminating with the Concrete Mixer on Tuesday night. I would like to thank the ACI staff and the Maryland, National Capital, and Virginia chapters for their dedication in planning this convention. The effort that has been put forth in developing a memorable and productive convention program is extraordinary. If you have a good time this week, be sure to stop by the host chapter desk to let them know. On behalf of Sheila and myself, we are honored and excited to be able to share this week with you, and we hope you will enjoy all that Washington, DC, has to offer. Thank you for attending the convention and for your continued involvement with ACI. Kind regards, William E.

We do work on projects that involve what I would call remote sensing – using advanced digital technology to assess the behavior of a structure or the materials in a structure. That can involve using sensors and digital technology to measure movement, deflection, vibration of structures. We’re also involved with evaluating moisture content and moisture movement in concrete – how that affects durability and service life,” adds CTLGroup Chief Operating Officer Tim Tonyan. CTLGroup’s services are all-inclusive. “We provide expertise and consulting services through the full life cycle of the building “CTLGroup performs or infrastructure facility, meaning that we help with conceptual materials testing at a planning, we help with the detailed design, we help during the con- series of labs located struction process, and then we help or we assist clients through the life in Skokie.” cycle of the facility itself,” says Tonyan.
