The ACPA is dedicated to the education and promotion of concrete pump safety to the concrete pumping industry and for all those who come into contact with a concrete pump on a construction job. We're here to teach you how you, and others around you, can stay safer on the job.
Our instructors have over 50 years of combined concrete pumping experience.
Introduced to the House of Representatives in March 2017, the Timber Innovation Act (H.R. 1380) will undermine the safety and soundness of our buildings, expose our firefighters and first responders to undue dangers, and openly choose winners and losers in building materials. H.R. 1380 would direct the Secretary of Agriculture to create a Tall Wood Building Competition administered by the Secretary of Agriculture for the construction of tall wood buildings 85 feet and above. We oppose this legislation because it compromises the safety and soundness of tall buildings.
As the voice of the concrete pumping industry, one of the ACPA’s missions is to advocate the industry’s concerns in Washington. Through our Washington advocates at Bose Public Affairs, we’re continually urging Congress to consider the critical issues affecting your business and the concrete pumping industry.
World of Concrete 2018 exceeded expectations across the board as the largest World of Concrete in nine years. This signature event for the concrete and masonry industries drew 58,222 registered professionals and featured more than 1,567 companies (including 302 brand-new companies) exhibiting across more than 747,411 net square feet of exhibit space.
The National Steering Committee (NSC) for the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program—a business-intensive program that awards students with a four-year bachelor of science degree in concrete industry management—raised more than $1.1 million in gross revenue at its annual auction, held in conjunction with the World of Concrete on Wednesday, January 24.
