ACI Certification Programs are very important for improving the concrete QC
No any ACI Certification had been carried out in Nicaragua by 2014
Our target is that all the concrete technicians to be certificated, and also the inspectors
With ACI support, we can offer the ACI Certification Programs by
ourselves
With Alejandro Durán´s support, we have already made five
Concrete Field Testing Technician Graduations
The first graduation of ACI Concrete Construction Special
Inspector is in progress
And the next year, we will go through the ACI Concrete Strength and Aggregate Testing Technician
Programs
Thanks to the ACI´s support the construction
industry is growing up and getting more
professional
We are growing up withACI
