ACI/CRSI Adhesive Anchor Installer Certification Adopted at Los Alamos National Laboratories

摘要

In May 2015, the Rocky Mountain Chapter - ACI was contracted by Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) to I make an on-site visit and execute ACI/CRSI's Adhesive Anchor Installer (AAI) certification program. LANL wanted 60 of their employees to obtain this certification. This group included 50 installers and 10 inspectors. The installers represented the local Ironworkers, Carpenters, Electrical and Masonry Workers unions. LANL employs approximately 900 full-time construction workers and this was the first session of what both parties expect will potentially become an annual program. Running 60 candidates through the program presented some logistic challenges, but we were able to solve them by organizing two, 2-day program sessions. Day 1 featured classroom review in the morning followed by a hands-on practice session in the afternoon, with Day 2 reserved for the written and performance exams. This solution also limited jobsite staffing issues at LANL, as only half of the 60 employees would be out at any given time.%En mayo de 2015 Los Alamos National Laboratories contrató a la Rocky Mountain Chapter del ACI para llevar a cabo el programa ACI/CRSI de certificación de instalador de anclajes adhesivos con 60 de sus empleados.
