His presentation, to be held Thursday, Oct. 4 from 8 \u2013 10 a.m., is designed to educate attendees on how to develop a crack control philosophy that is a combination of design focus and construction effectiveness to minimize random cracking in slabs.<\/p>\n<p>His presentation is part of the field supervisor track, a new offering this year. Sponsored by Citadel Contractors, the track offers convenient sessions that address issues critical to the development and success of today\u2019s field supervisors and project managers. The track is also designed to fulfill the latest upgrade of the ACI\/TCA Certified Tilt-Up Supervisor and Technician program by providing the necessary CEUs for recertification. Until the adaptation to a CEU option for recertification, renewal of certification required studying for and taking an exam similar to the one taken to qualify for initial certification. \u201cThis CEU opportunity further accentuates the commitment to and value of quality education for today\u2019s Tilt-Up professionals,\u201d said Jim Baty, Technical Director of TCA.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Qualified superintendents are the backbone of our company. Tilt-Up specific continuing education is very difficult to come by so I&#8217;m excited that TCA will be providing us with this opportunity at the fall convention,&#8221; said Glenn Doncaster, President of TCA.<\/p>\n<p>Other sessions planned for field construction personnel include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tilt-up.org\/convention\/2012\/programs\/w1\/index.php\">Modern Tilt-Up Contractors: Pride and Craft<\/a> by Mitch Bloomquist<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tilt-up.org\/tilt-uptoday\/es\/convention\/2012\/programs\/w2b\/\">How to Manage, Motivate &amp; Maximize Productive Field Crews<\/a> by George Hedley<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tilt-up.org\/tilt-uptoday\/es\/convention\/2012\/programs\/w4b\/\">Tips and Tricks<\/a> by Barclay Gebel<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tilt-up.org\/tilt-uptoday\/es\/convention\/2012\/programs\/w6\/\">Panel Discussion: Bracing to the Slab<\/a> by Glenn Doncaster<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tilt-up.org\/tilt-uptoday\/es\/convention\/2012\/programs\/t3b\/\">Project Case Study: Natl.
