Prime Resins News

Municipal Sewer Grout School registration now open

We're proud to announce that the first live and in-person Grout School for 2021 is now set for August 4 & 5 in Conyers, GA. Prime Resins, Logiball Inc. and Aries Industries will work together to provide both classroom and hands-on instruction for municipal grouting.
With intent to eliminate infiltration for the long term, specifications for injection grouting of sewer mainline joints, service laterals and manholes are growing more complex, more demanding. With a keen eye on longevity, what you know really matters—as an asset owner, specifying engineer, and utility contractor.
Over the course of two days (classroom & hands on), three Partners for Progress will serve up 9 instructors to share from a holistic perspective—methods, materials, conveyance, standards, and best practices. You will be adding building blocks for improved decision-making, for teamwork, and for meeting high expectations. It’s not easy to know all, but its necessary to begin with a solid foundation. If you agree it’s best to understand this practice from the contractor perspective, this is where you need to be.  

THIS CLASS IS NOW FULL. IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE ADDED TO A WAITING LIST, PLEASE CONTACT KEVIN ANTHONY ( KEVIN . ANTHONY @ PRIMERESINS . COM)
