The first ever comprehensive resource on managing confined spaces in the construction industry. While there are many publications available related to confined space entry, they tend to focus on fixed, general industry spaces. This book was designed to address the confined spaces that can be found on many typical construction sites. The ones that probably haven't been identified or classified yet because they didn't exist when the project started. The ones that get constructed without… Show more

The first ever comprehensive resource on managing confined spaces in the construction industry. While there are many publications available related to confined space entry, they tend to focus on fixed, general industry spaces. This book was designed to address the confined spaces that can be found on many typical construction sites. The ones that probably haven't been identified or classified yet because they didn't exist when the project started. The ones that get constructed without consideration of what work remains that needs to be done inside. The ones that many people in the construction industry do not recognize as confined spaces. Construction managers and safety professionals will both find this a useful resource in working towards the improvement of safety, quality and productivity on the job-site. Show less

For decades, studies have shown tangible links between safety, quality, and productivity, yet the industry has only recently begun to embrace the concept that we cannot neglect one of these without having a negative impact on the others. If you want to stand out from the competition, you have to learn how to balance all three, and with an increasingly competitive landscape, the way we are (trying) to balance them now is not good enough.

Bluebeam Revu has changed modern construction documentation. A revolutionary PDF program, Bluebeam can convert 2D and 3D drawings from almost any CAD or BIM software into PDFs that the entire project team can view. Bluebeam also offers markup, estimation, redlining, and project management tools for managing each step in a document's lifecycle. Plus, you can search for more than just text; with Bluebeam you can find symbols, details, and callouts throughout a set of documents. This training… Show more

As construction continues to rebound, the demand for employees who have the proper safety training will continue to increase. As you consider the options for training, it’s important to understand what is available, what is required, and what credentials to look for in prospective trainers.

If any of your employees are exposed to any hazardous chemicals—form release agents, curing compounds, chemical admixtures, silica hardeners, patching materials, etc.—OSHA requires a written hazard communication plan that complies with 29 CFR 1910.1200.

Temporary workers play an important role in public works operations, but landfills, construction sites, work zones, and other common jobsites are dangerous places for the untrained individual. When using temporary workers, you must take care that they are meeting their training and compliance obligations related to jobsite safety.

With 137,000 square feet of mixed-use retail and teaching space, College Avenue Commons is the new home of Arizona State University’s (ASU) Del E. Webb School of Construction, the Western OSHA Education Center, and the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment. This cutting edge building is a monument to the construction industry.

There has been much discussion recently about OSHA’s crane regulations and requirements. In 2010, OSHA released one of the largest subparts it has ever published for the construction industry. Officially titled, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, this document imposed many new regulations on the industry, covering everything from ground conditions and set up, to rigging and signaling, and more.

It’s summer and hot weather is here again. When you work outside, extreme heat is not only uncomfortable, it can kill. Unfortunately, there are thousands of workers in the construction industry that get sick from heat exposure every year. These illnesses and deaths are preventable.

Safety, risk, compliance, and workers’ comp are all important to concrete contractors. With that in mind, there are several proposed new OSHA standards that are in the rulemaking stage, one standard that may see some revisions in the near future, and a couple of Letters of Interpretation issued in the last several months of interest to the concrete industry.

Information on what an engineer needs to know to process the post-tensioning reports that are received from the field. Includes recommended actions for reports that indicate tendons are under or over stressed.

Combining the advantages of prestressed and cast-in-place concrete.

This publication presents design and construction recommendations for post-tensioned slabs intended for use as a sport court. The usage of this book is intended for designers, contractors, inspectors, and building officials. The book also covers common construction and detailing issues.

Training for Ironworkers installing multistrand and bar post-tensioning systems. Includes installation of duct and prestressing steel, stressing, and grouting of bonded systems. This training package consists of a student reference manual, instructors guide including quizes, exams and assignments, and video presentation.

Today, residential foundations account for more than 50% of the post-tensioned concrete market, and it is estimated that over 375,000 houses are constructed on post-tensioned foundations each year.

Code requirements and design procedures for utilizing 7 wire PC Strand as a barrier cable system in parking structures.

Discusses requirements as outlined in PTI and ACI documents related to proper documentation of post-tensioning components. Particular attention is paid to mixing components from different manufacturers and the use of prestressing steel not specifically identified in ASTM A416.
