Dan Weatherton, former employee of Construction Forms, Inc. and son of “Big” Bob Weatherton, passed away suddenly on March 12, 2012.

Dan was born June 15, 1956 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and moved to California with his parents at a young age. Dan attended Condit School, Claremont High School and graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of LaVerne. Dan worked in the construction machinery industry for many years and was preparing to move to a new position in the oil field industry in Houston, Texas.

Dennis Andrews of Andrews Concrete Pumping, Jessup, Maryland, received the coveted ACPA Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s ACPA Annual Membership Meeting held on January 24, 2012 at the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The award was first presented in 1988 and is awarded to those individuals or companies who have fostered and advanced the use of concrete pumping, have improved the conditions under which concrete pumping is performed, shared their knowledge and experiences with others in the industry, and promoted and practiced safe concrete pumping.

If you own a concrete pumping business in the state of California, you’re probably held to some of the most intrusive and complicated regulations than all of the other 49 states—especially when it comes to complying with California’s stringent diesel emission regulations.
