NBIS Increases Expertise within the Concrete Pumping segment

Atlanta, GA - NationsBuilders Insurance Services, Inc., the industry leader in specialty construction insurance, is pleased to welcome Kyle Rask to the Company, where he will assume the position of Concrete Pumping Program Manager.

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 17, 2017) – To help support the Concrete Industry Management’s (CIM) educational programs, Mack Trucks donated a 2016 Mack^® Granite^® Axle Forward model to the 12^th annual CIM Auction conducted during World of Concrete 2017. All auction proceeds will go toward the development and support of CIM’s educational program.

In response to increasing customer demand, Schwing America is pleased to announce the addition of two field boom inspectors, Steve Leath and Kyle Smith. Growth in boom inspections is the result of more machines in service and the growing awareness of work site safety. Leath and Smith joined the Schwing team and have become fully certified to the newest Schwing inspection and welding criteria, which are so critical to ensure proper procedures for safety and the preservation of equipment value.

Schwing has announced its 2017 service seminar schedule, offering more choices to appeal to a wider audience of concrete pumping professionals. In addition to intermediate training for operators/mechanics and advanced training for mechanics, the company will offer an SP school focusing on the stationary pump line. The seminars are held at Schwing’s dedicated training facility in White Bear, Minnesota, and include multi-media training aids and hands-on troubleshooting. Students also receive a service manual on CDROM, along with a printed copy of the training manual.
