The Chapter was founded in 1962 by a group of dedicated people led by Art Livingood, Andy Fertal, and Bob Zerns. Their vision has helped influence the shape of concrete construction in Pittsburgh as well as the tri-state area.
Today our chapter has over 200 members. We hold monthly member meetings in October-March and every April we hold our annual Awards Banquet. We offer ACI Certification and conduct several classes and test hundreds of individuals each year. For more information on these programs, please look under the “Certifications” tab. The Pittsburgh Area Chapter continues to grow and we would like to thank those who have supported us. We extend a special thanks to our sustaining and corporate member companies who have made it possible to achieve this success.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2308″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” type=”vc_default” margin_top=”-6″ margin_bottom=”24″ css=”.vc_custom_1495112538029{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3″ css=”.vc_custom_1495112557524{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][bsf-info-box icon=”fas fa-user-graduate” icon_size=”32″ icon_color=”#ffffff” icon_style=”circle” icon_color_bg=”” title=”Education and Training” pos=”top” el_class=”accent-icon-bg” css_info_box=”.vc_custom_1625081986504{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” title_font_size=”desktop:20px;” title_font_line_height=”desktop:30px;”]We offer numerous ACI Certification courses throughout the year so you can keep current on an existing certification or earn a new one.[/bsf-info-box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3″ css=”.vc_custom_1495112563645{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][bsf-info-box icon=”icomoon-icomoonfree-16×16-books” icon_size=”32″ icon_color=”#ffffff” icon_style=”circle” icon_color_bg=”” title=”Industry Resources” pos=”top” el_class=”accent-icon-bg” css_info_box=”.vc_custom_1631217907048{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” title_font_size=”desktop:20px;” title_font_line_height=”desktop:30px;”]The Chapter Library contains copies of many ACI publications which are updated on a regular basis.
