The first week of May, May 1-5, is Construction Safety Week 2023. The week-long event originated in 2014 to unite the construction industry in their commitment to safety. And, of course, it’s also a time to learn about what’s new and trending in safety.

The “Big Bob” Weatherton Scholarship Fund is proud to offer scholarships to eligible class 1, 3, 4 and 5 members and their families, as well as to members’ employees and their families. Scholarships are for undergraduate, graduate and vocational students in fields related to Concrete, Concrete Pumping, Construction and Engineering, Construction Management and Administration and Vocational studies related to concrete pumps and trucks.

In January, the American Concrete Pumping Association traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, to join more than 1,500 exhibitors at World of Concrete (WOC), the concrete industry’s largest annual gathering. With more than 48,000 registered attendees, WOC 2023 pushed the levels of attendance back to pre-pandemic levels.

WOC covered more than 587,000 net square footage of indoor and outdoor exhibit space at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with exhibitor booths benefitting from heavy foot traffic. The ACPA’s booth was conveniently located in the Central Hall.
