The Concrete Repair Association (CRA), Corrosion Prevention Associa- tion (CPA) and Sprayed Concrete Association (SCA) have formed an Alliance aimed at providing a single co-ordinated voice, and a source of reference for the structural concrete refurbishment and repair industry.
The new Structural Concrete Alliance was launched at the UK Concrete Show at the NEC on 27-28 February, where representatives from all three of the constituent Associations were available to provide advice and comment.
The new Alliance brings together over 70 companies drawn from contractors, manufacturers, distributors, consultants, test houses and equipment suppliers. It will offer a single point of contact for major clients and a definitive source of information and advice for all involved in the repair, refurbishment and management of concrete infrastructure and the protection from corrosion of a wide range of structures. It provides authoritative guidance on asset protection and repair, includ- ing:
The repair, refurbishment and renovation of concrete Cathodic protection of steel and concrete structures Sprayed concrete technology and application techniques
CPA Chairman Chris Atkins explains the philosophy behind the new Alliance: “The Alliance enables us to pool resources and provides a single portal for anyone wanting to know about how to repair or manage degrading structures.
“The strengths of each association complement each other and together we can provide a unified voice to address the significant problems of degrading infrastructure.”
Although all three Associations will continue to operate, providing detailed advice and comment within their individual speciality areas, the Alliance will reduce duplication in many areas including the development of publications and technical guidance documents.
“The formation of this Alliance represents a major step forward for the industry. It provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the profes- sionalism of those who work within this specialist construction sector.
“The Structural Concrete Alliance aims to advance education, technical training and health & safety in the sector and will campaign for greater recognition of competence and quality for both services and products,” declares CRA Chairman Ken Dykes.
Future association meetings will be scheduled to coincide, offering members and guests the opportunity to network with individuals working across the entire sector. The Associations’ Technical and Publicity Committees will also combined to ensure that technical information and promotional campaigns will share a united vision.
“Combining the expertise, experience and wealth of knowledge from each of the constituent Associations will enable the Associations to focus their efforts on developing a unified vision for the sector.
“This will ensure that clients and members alike will have easy access to reliable, independent and professional advice,” says SCA Chair Andy Dunlop.
