Description

In partnership with AGC of Colorado, we offer you this upcoming three-unit series Superintendent Training Bootcamp held in a live-virtual format. In this series, participants will learn about scheduling considerations for construction as well as critical building methodologies, structural and building envelope systems, and major scopes of building systems, including HVACS, plumbing and MEP.

The Superintendent Bootcamp is designed to expand the knowledge of construction professionals who are looking to grow in their career. Ideal candidates for this course include field and project engineers, forepersons, assistant superintendents and anyone looking to gain a thorough understanding of the commercial construction building process. Sessions include a deep dive into building a project from the ground up. 

Unit 1: Sitework and Foundations

August 27, 29, September 5, 10, 12, 17, 24 - Online or In-Person Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00PM - 5:30 PM MDT | 11:00AM - 1:30PM HST

Overview
In this course, students will learn about scheduling considerations for construction as well as critical building methodologies and requirements. There is also a significant focus on sitework and foundations.

Session 1: Project Set-Up, Surveying & Layout

Project Set-up
The initial setup of a project and the people involved will be explained and described. Students will learn about site utilization and what is needed up front.

Surveying and Layout Methodologies
Students will be provided with information to help them understand the difference between the surveying and layout process. This training will outline the step-by-step process for surveying and layouts for projects.

Session 2:  Excavation / Trenching & Site Utilities

Excavation & Trenching
This session focuses on excavation and trenching safety. Hazards associated with excavations as well as the methods for protecting employees from cave-ins will be identified. It also covers employer requirements to protect workers from excavation hazards.

Site Utilities
The basics of site utilities will be introduced. Site utilities are building systems that usually come under some form of public control. These utilities generally include electricity, gas, water and sewage and communication services. Additionally, they may include irrigation systems, steam lines, medical gases, inert gases and other
liquids/gases required for laboratory operations. There are many considerations that must be made when dealing with site utilities.

Session 3: Geotechnical Reports, Foundations and Material Handling Solutions

Geotechnical Reports
An overview and explanation of Geotech reports will be covered giving participants a working knowledge of how to interpret the report as well as how to implement recommendations made in the report.

Foundations
Different soil types and foundations will be reviewed. Best practices of each will be discussed.

Material Handling Solutions
Tower Cranes, Track Cranes, Forklifts, Hydro Cranes, and Material Hoists we be reviewed and indicators of which equipment to use in which situation will be covered along with application sizing.

Session 4: Slabs and Flat Work

This class covers concrete slab considerations, slab on grade/void/deck. Analyze differences of slab on deck, suspended slab, and PT slab. Hot and cold weather placement and mix design. Identifying floor FF/FL and finishes.

Session 5: Environment, Dewatering

This class will explain what an environmental site assessment is and how it is used. Understanding what dewatering is and the required permits. Methods of dewatering dependent on various contaminants. How to manage water pollutants. Determining the correct discharge options based on key factors.

Session 6: Project Scheduling

An understanding of the true flow of the sequence using real-life examples will be taught. The steps needed to ensure that project scheduling is effectively done for a smoothly run project will also be outlined.

Session 7: Shoring Systems, Structural Shotcrete, Blindside Waterproofing

Shoring Systems
An overall explanation of the different types of shoring and best practices of installation of shoring systems will be taught. Students will learn about earthwork shoring, shoring, beam and lag systems, battered piers, grout column/soil nails and underpinning.

Structural Shotcrete and Blindside Waterproofing
A practical understanding of executing structural shotcrete and blindside waterproofing for 0-100 feet underground/below-grade excavation projects will be taught. Students will examine a comprehensive overview of the concepts, planning, techniques, and best practices for scheduling, sitework, building methodology, and environmental impact.
