Contest winner Drew Dimond of Terracon.
On November 15, 2018, the Mid America Chapter of RCI, Inc. had a lunch-and-learn event at Bury the Hatchet in Overland Park, KS. It was a blast! First, the chapter had a stimulating presentation on jobsite safety by Rob Morehead with 3-E Safety. After lunch, there were lessons on how to safely and accurately throw hatchets at a target! By the time the chapter members were done squaring off against each other, most of them had managed to get at least one bull’s eye. Congratulations to Drew Dimond of Terracon for winning the contest!

Attendees had a buffet-style dinner with good company, festive decorations, and live mariachi music.
On a cool and rainy Wednesday evening, over 40 event attendees came out to the festively decorated Hacienda in Santa Ana, CA to attend the So Cal Chapter of RCI’s Annual Dinner and Holiday Party on December 5, 2018. The chapter received many generous contributions to their annual Toys for Tots donation drive – in total, they collected 20+ toys to give to the U.S. Marine Corps for distribution to less fortunate children in low-income families. Guests were greeted with champagne flutes and enjoyed passed appetizers, refreshments, a buffet dinner, and a taco bar in a cheery and warm atmosphere complete with live mariachi music.

Blindside or pre-applied waterproofing is one of the most complex building enclosure systems to design and construct in a watertight condition. During design, consultants must consider the geotechnical report, support of excavation systems, and many complex details that are possible in hydrostatic conditions. Learners are provided with solutions to design blindside waterproofing system to maintain a dry foundation and provide the building owner with a valuable warranty.
Moisture within a roof is detrimental to the energy efficiency and long-term performance of the roof system. This webinar will provide a basic understanding of today’s leak-detection equipment options, methods of roof moisture detection, and critical components of a detailed moisture survey report.
