Previous Meeting Recap


October 2024 Meeting Highlights

We had Dr. Chunyu Qiao and Dr. Derek Cong sharing their expert insights on how to keep pool structures stronger, safer, and more cost-effective. They walked us through how to prevent issues like cracking, delamination, and ASR, and introduced top-notch materials and techniques to make pools last longer. They also offered super practical, hands-on strategies to handle real-life construction challenges right away. Overall, it was all about boosting your bottom line, building better pools, and reinforcing your reputation as a rock-solid builder that clients can really trust.
