Building Enclosure Council (BEC) Miami

Concrete Deterioration - Building Enclosure Specific
F. Carter (Bud) Karins, PE and CEO of Karins Engineering Group.
We apologize for the last-minute change.

F. Carter Karins has been engaged in the restoration of reinforced concrete structures since 1999 utilizing conventional repair methods, carbon fiber reinforcing and impressed current cathodic protection. Mr. Karins has more than twenty-four years of experience in construction management, real estate development, residential design and light commercial design. Mr. Karins also has mechanical engineering experience with practice specialization in design and engineering of hydraulically operated cranes, packaging machines and systems and fluid dynamics. Mr. Karins’ combination of experience makes him uniquely qualified to provide consulting services during planning, design and construction phases of building projects, as well as consulting services for the design of machine components and systems.

The presentation will provide basic understanding of the following: Science of concrete corrosion, Corrosion repair methodologies, Corrosion mitigation techniques, Corrosion repair and mitigation materials. At the conclusion of the presentation, one should: Understand the visual signs of corrosion damage, Recognize successful repair methods.

This meeting will be held at our usual time and location. We will NOT hold the joint meeting with CSI Miami, about which we talked during the two latest meetings. It turned out that the topics of their presentation may not necessarily be of interest to us. Since this explanation came late, the time was very short to secure an out-of-house speaker.

Therefore, we prepared to employ our usual emergency scenario: Kaz giving a lecture on a randomly chosen building enclosure subject.

However, two speakers responded affirmatively after the invitations went out, and we once again changed the description of this meeting.

Those of you, who RSVPd early, were already notified. We apologize for the confusion and apologize for the disappointment some of you expressed. We will hear from Kaz the next time when there is a sudden cancellation
