Among the highlights of 2020 for the American Concrete Pumping Association was awarding the first Bob Weatherton Scholarships to two inspiring students. The scholarship is named in honor of the late “Big Bob” Weatherton of The Concrete Pump Store in California, who passed in 2016. Bob served on the ACPA Board of Directors for more than 40 years and is remembered as one of the industry’s most avid champions.
Suppliers and manufacturers across the industry are constantly sharing product promotions, industry news, and customer photos on social media pages and websites. Have you ever considered doing the same for your concrete pumping company?
The American Concrete Pumping Association supports the highest standards for pump operator safety and all workers coming in contact with a concrete pump. As an extension of this commitment, the ACPA recently enhanced its Operator Training and Certification Program, which now includes an online safety training program. The online ACPA Operator Safety Presentation course satisfies the in-person requirement for ACPA Operator Certification 5.0.
Always looking to improve safety, ACPA member company Conco Pumping purchased one of the first ACPA wireless boom simulators in October 2019. The unit was sent to the company’s Southern California operation so general manager Doug Marquis could test it and become familiar with it.
