"I want to begin by saying that Ken has been very fair in my dealings with him. He also understands the stringent time frames we deal with in construction and has always been very proactive in assuring he meets these requirements. In particular, we have never had to delay our schedule because of an approval of his mass concrete plans. Even when it takes 4 revisions and countless additional hours, Ken is very professional and makes sure the task at hand gets completed in full and on time. He is also responsive to all issues that arise regarding the mass concrete on the project and works swiftly with us to resolve them. This assures that these issues very quickly become non-issues which always results in the project flowing forward and being successful.
Ken is also well known and respected within the industry when it comes to concrete related issues. His expertise went a long way in resolving the issues we had with the spalling of segmental construction at another bridge project. The CEI was very impressed with how effective the mass concrete construction was. This is another testament to Ken competence and professionalism.

PARTIAL LIST of PROJECTS
"Ken has the unique quality of being very acclimated to concrete materials, constituents and production processes. In addition, Ken has historically been a great asset in laboratory testing and certification training. His service gave accurate forecast of thermal predictions providing real decision options for the successful completion of the project while maintaining cost within budget for the contractor. He also provided quality options for the Structural Engineer of record. Having known and been involved with Ken for over 15 years in Florida and now Alabama and seeing his performance of NRMCA Plant Inspections and Mass Concrete Plans & Schmidt Models designs, I would recommend Ken for any type of concrete and testing related consultation services required by an engineer (to include State Materials Engineers), contractors or ready mix producers."
