The 2024 Production Workshop is HERE!

PCI’s Architectural Precast Concrete Committee will conduct an Architectural Precast Production Workshop September 4 – 6, 2024 in Nashville, TN. This year’s focus will be patching and repair of architectural precast concrete components including two half day classroom-style learning session and a full-day plant visit to Gate Precast in Ashland City, TN. If you are certified in one of the architectural precast concrete certification categories, you do not want to miss this workshop.

Attendees will be spending one full day in the plant. Gate Precast is providing multiple mockup panels where patching experts will demonstrate multiple patching and repair techniques. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness best practices and share ideas.

Our speakers are veteran patchers with over 100 years of combined patching experience. They are prepared to discuss their successes and failures in plain talk and in a collaborative manner. This is a great opportunity to learn from your peers, share best practices and elevate your patching personnel in specific production-related subjects. Everyone is encouraged to come with questions, concerns, and challenges. A Spanish translator will be provided.
