SUMMARY:Keeping History Above Water
DESCRIPTION:Newport Marriott Hotel\, America’s\, 25 America’s Cup Ave\, Newport\, RI 02840 \n{{khaw}} \n  \nKeeping History Above Water will be one of the first national conversations to focus on the increasing and varied risks posed by sea level rise to historic coastal communities and their built environments. This is not a conference about climate change\, but about what preservationists\, engineers\, city planners\, legislators\, insurers\, historic home owners and other decision makers need to know about climate change—sea level rise in particular—and what can be done to protect historic buildings\, landscapes and neighborhoods from the increasing threat of inundation. \nOver four days\, specialists from across the United States and abroad will share experiences\, examine risks\, and debate solutions with an emphasis on case studies and real world applications. Keeping History Above Water will approach sea level rise from a multi-disciplinary perspective in order to develop practical approaches to mitigation\, protective adaptation\, and general resilience. \nFor anyone concerned with preserving historic coastal communities\, Keeping History Above Water offers an opportunity to hear from leaders in the field\, participate in workshops on practical solutions\, tour threatened areas and structures in Newport and its environs\, and simply connect over this area of shared concern. \n  \nLET US KNOW YOU’RE INTERESTEDOnline registration is closed\, but you can purchase tickets at the conference registration desk\, beginning at noon on Sunday\, April 10th\, and each day of the conference\, thereafter.  \nPlease join the Facebook Page for Keeping History Above Water\, and send us a message about the days you are planning to attend.  \nOr email us at HistoryAboveWater@NewportRestoration.org  \nFor more information\, visit the FAQs \n

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Understanding the basics of concrete and crystalline waterproofing
DESCRIPTION:AIAri Windows on Architecture\, 158 Washington Street\, Providence\, RI 02903 \nUnderstanding the basics of concrete and crystalline waterproofing:•    Composition•    Durability•    Degradation•    Dampproofing vs waterproofing•    History of•    BenefitsHow crystalline waterproofing can improve facilities image and occupant’s well-being while reducing maintenance costsHow crystalline waterproofing can contribute to LEED pointsReview completed projects where crystalline technology was used to restore historical properties\, reduce moisture transfer through concrete\, and eliminate interior air quality issues. \nPresenter:   William D. (Bill) Armitage\, Watertite Sales-Owner\, Punta Gorda\, FL. \nWatertite Sales is a master sales representative for Foxfire Enterprises\, Inc. As a master sales representative\, the company has sales representation east of the Mississippi as well as Canada. In addition to Foxfire\, Watertite represents Miracote and their cementitious overlays in the Florida market.Background \nMost of my career was spent in the roofing industry\, primarily the commercial side. I started my career as a sales trainee for a large building manufacturer right out of college. My experience in sales\, marketing\, and management gave me a great education. After 10 years with a manufacturer\, I moved on to the distribution side of the roofing business\, I decided after 5 years with a distributor\, to start my own distributor/representative company. \nI owned several companies\, gathering leadership and sales awards along the way. I had the privilege of sitting on both Carlisle\, and Firestone’s advisory councils. A chance meeting 8 years ago with George Kubala owner of Foxfire Enterprises\, Inc. changed my pathway from roofing to concrete. Foxfire produces crystalline products to densify and seal concrete. Since the majority of the concrete waterproofing market was membrane oriented\, the challenge was to get the specifier to recognize non-membrane sealers as a legitimate method of waterproofing masonry surfaces. The challenges have been great since their a few if any testing criterion for non-membrane type products\, plus we rely on word of mouth advertising. \nOfferingWhat I offer is a clear understanding of what concrete is\, why it works\, and why it fails. I discuss the alternative to membrane type waterproofing\, that of integral waterproofing. Integral waterproofing is over 70 year’s old\, used worldwide. From its early days of a sodium silicate to advances in the lithium market\, chemically treating to waterproof can be used as a standalone process or a “belt and suspender” type application. The advantages of a non-membrane forming product are enormous considering that concrete must breathe to sustain itself. \n RSVP Emma Migneault- emma.migneault@gmail.com
