Concrete Fundamentals Workshop
Concrete Fundamentals Workshop — March 2026
From the first materials mixed to the concrete you maintain years later, we cover it all.
The Concrete Fundamentals Workshop brings together every stage of concrete construction in a practical, full-day learning experience. Tailored for finishers, contractors, producers, engineers, specifiers, and municipal staff, this workshop breaks down what truly matters on Saskatchewan job sites.
Throughout the day, attendees will explore:
- How concrete materials, admixtures, and mix designs work together
- Weather-related challenges and how to plan for hot or cold conditions
- Best practices for placing, consolidating, finishing, and curing
- Common field issues and exterior flatwork defects; why they happen and how to prevent them
- The role of performance-based specs and durability requirements in long-term success
- EPDs, various cement types, sustainability, and the industry’s movement toward Net-Zero concrete
- Testing procedures, quality control, and producer–contractor communication
- Essential safety guidance around concrete trucks and pumps, including site communication and hazard awareness
- A behind-the-scenes look at batch plant operations and how production impacts the concrete delivered to your project
- Maintenance considerations that help concrete last longer and perform better over time
Attendees are eligible to receive a Professional Development Certificate, reinforcing the workshop’s value for companies committed to training, growth, and safe, quality concrete work
