JOINING FORCES - WINNING IN THE TRENCHES!

ACPA 2010 PIPE SCHOOL

Get ready to -Join Forces- in Phoenix, Arizona at ACPA's Pipe School on February 17th-19th, held prior to the 2010 Precast Show. Attendees will be schooled in the areas of production, quality, safety, sales and marketing, and design. We are excited about the great opportunity in 2010 to combine the Sales and Marketing School with the Production & Quality School program into one terrific training.

With today's fierce competition, we lead the way by making quality products in a safe and efficient manner. Don't miss the opportunity to learn from the most experienced and knowledgeable instructors in North America.

At this year's Pipe School, industry peers and professional speakers will provide valuable insight and knowledge about quality, employee safety, workplace efficiencies, management tools, advancement in technologies, SWOT analysis, marketing and selling techniques. By attending the school, students will reward employers by improving production and sales from information learned at the training.

The 2010 program will include a variety of courses, plant tours, machinery clinics, round table discussions and the Annual Safety, Chairman's Safety, and Marketing Award Luncheons. This year the Pipe School will also offer the opportunity for personnel to become QCast accredited by attending the Quality School track and passing the exam at the end of the course. Don't miss this opportunity to become accredited for your QCast plant.

The combined school will have a half-day dedicated to installation, since this is a critical component in showing the differences between concrete pipe and flexible pipe products. We will hold a full-scale pipe installation demonstration at the Hanson plant in Phoenix. This will be so outstanding that the local producers intend to invite their DOT and municipal pipe designers and owners to this training session.
