President’s Message
Carolinas Chapter
July 2015
Tara Cavalline
UNC Charlotte
I am very excited to write this President’s Message following our highly successful Spring Conference.
We had a great attendance for the pre-conference social event at the Rooftop Party Zone of the
BB&T Ballpark. Everyone had a great time socializing with good refreshments and a Charlotte
Knight’s baseball game. Our conference the next day featured engaging speakers and a oncein-a-lifetime tour of the renovations to Bank of America Stadium, home of the Panthers. Prior
to the social event and conference, a number of ICRI Carolinas volunteers successfully repaired
several masonry walls at Hospice and Palliative Care Charlotte Region (HPCCR). The efforts and
donations of our members and sponsors to achieve this much-appreciated charitable contribution to
the community are described later in this newsletter. I’d like to also extend further congratulations
to the winners of our ICRI Carolinas Chapter Project of the Year (Stone Restoration of America,
Carl Walker, Inc., Sika, and Guaranteed Supply) for their award-winning project, “Elevated roadway renovations project at
Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTIA),” and to our 2015 scholarship recipient, Christopher O’Laughlin of Clemson University.
Additionally, congratulations are in order for our entire chapter, as we were again recognized nationally as an ICRI Outstanding
Chapter for 2014. Thank you to everyone for making this a chapter that shines at the national level!
Moving forward, we invite you to plan to attend our 8th Annual WCA/ICRI Sporting Clay shoot in Richburg, SC (October 15th),
as well as our Fall Convention in Wilmington, NC (October 22-24). The groundwork has been laid for these events, and details
are provided herein. Our technical programs have explored some unique and challenging topics during the past few years, but
for this Fall Convention, our theme is “Back to Basics: Concrete Repair.” A great speaker lineup paired with a great location (and
great golf) will make this an event you won’t want to miss.
Finally, it is with a heavy heart that our Board of Directors is preparing to lose our Executive Director Kelly Andrews (and of
course Kit Andrews as well). Kelly has decided to retire as ICRI Carolinas Chapter Executive Director at the end of 2015.
Replacing Kelly will be our chapter’s long-time creative services facilitator, Brad Aderhold. Many of you are familiar with Brad
from his roles at ICRI and WCA, and know that his talents will serve our chapter well as we navigate the waters without Kelly.
As I stated in my introductory remarks at the Spring Conference, “Kelly… Kit… Brad… without you guys, this would be a mess!”
We appreciate all that you do to help our busy members benefit from this organization. Kelly and Kit, as you move towards your
retirement, THANK YOU for all you’ve done! And Brad, we look forward to continuing to work with you as we move forward.
As always, please feel free to contact me or our other board members if you have questions, suggestions, or other feedback.
Looking forward to seeing you in the fall!

THE FALL CONFERENCE RETURNS TO WILMINGTON IN 2015
For the Fall Conference, we’re going back to the coast, Wilmington, NC. Mark your
calendar for October 22-24, 2015. The theme will be “Back to the Basics: Concrete
Repair” and our headquarters hotel will be the beautiful Residence Inn Landfall at the
Wrightsville Beach Bridge and we’ll be meeting across the parking lot at the Executive
Development Center. Our “banquet” will be a poolside seafood buffet and keg, an
oyster roast and chicken fry in legendary proportions by Keyzer Catering of Pantego,
NC. Registration is open.
RESIDENCE INN
LANDFALL
Our golf tournament will be Castle Bay Country Club. Located just off coastal
highway, US-17 in Hampstead, NC Castle Bay is a challenging, Scottish links style
18-hole championship course. Although there are no trees on the course, there are the
typical links hazards of tall bunkers, water, and waste areas. True to the tradition, the
course demands excellent shot placement on almost every hole. And yes, like all links
courses, occasionally one must factor in the wind.
2015 SPRING CONFERENCE IN CHARLOTTE
A HIT! A HOME RUN! NO, A GRANDSLAM! 2015 SPING CONFERENCE: TOUCHDOWN!
Not a mixed metaphor; it was all that and more. Many thanks to all who attended,
contributed or presented at the 2015 ICRI Carolina’s Spring Conference at BB&T
Ballpark and Panthers Stadium in Charlotte. From the Thursday night hospitality on
the patio, to the Friday technical sessions in the baseball Luxury Suite to the afternoon
construction tour of Panther Stadium, the attendees were wowed, entertained and
informed. Both facilities were outstanding and the attendance of nealy 80 attendees
suggested the theme ““MEETING THE CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES OF DESIGN
OF TODAY’S CIVIL STRUCTURES” scored big. A special thanks to Kenseal Construction
Products and BASF for co-hosting the “Take Me Out To the Ballgame” event and
Nomaco for underwriting the Charlotte Knights hats.

5 PDH’s
The 2015 ICRI Carolinas Chapter service project took place on Thursday, May 14 in Charlotte, North Carolina preceding the
chapter’s annual Spring Conference. The beneficiary of the project was Hospice and Palliative Care Charlotte Region (HPCCR).
Hospice and Palliative Care Charlotte Region is a non-profit organization whose mission is to relieve suffering and improve the
quality and dignity of life through compassionate hospice care for those at the end of life, palliative care for those with advanced
illness, and through community education.
The focus of this year’s project was the repair of a brick faced masonry retaining wall on the property of the organization. A team
of volunteers from the chapter led by board member, Bruce Stoerkel of Statesville Roofing & Building Restoration, Inc. spent the
day providing the necessary repairs to the wall. The weather was perfect and John Card the Director of Maintenance for HPCCR
was pleased with the outcome of the project. Materials and tools for the project were generously provided by Mcgee Brothers
(brick, sand, mortar, ties), BASF (Concrete, CMU, grout) and Guaranteed Supply Company (safety equipment). BASF and Statesville
Roofing & Building Restoration also provided lunch and refreshments for our volunteers.
Joining Bruce Stoerkel on the project was a group of volunteers
from the Carolinas Chapter including:
Al Schweickhardt – Applied Building Sciences
Ben Smith – NC State University
Matt Osborne – BASF
Zachary Duggan - BASF
Robert McDowell – Pro-Tec Weatherproofing
Doug & Lisa Saunders – Guaranteed Supply Company

WE HAVE A WINNER:
Carolina’s Chapter Student Scholarship Contest
Many thanks to Mark O’Brien, Chairman of the Education Committee for the outstanding
response to this year’s scholarship competition; we had 20 entries this year …. our
second year of 20+ apps. As a result of the excellent support of our corporate
sponsors, employers of our board of directors, conference speakers, and membership,
the Carolinas Chapter of ICRI annually offers a $1,500 student scholarship and
the 2015 Student Scholarship Winner is Christopher O’Laughlin, a Senior - Civil
Engineering at Clemson University. Here is a copy of the winning essay:
The rapid modernization of our society seen over the past century has spawned a need for the implementation of various types of supporting infrastructure. Utilities require generation infrastructure such as dams and power plants to improve quality of life. The development of various transportation forms has necessitated the development of high-capacity bridges, roads, ports and runways. Increasingly
complex structures are in demand as technological innovation fuels growth. Advancement in the areas of concrete design, material science, and construction techniques are necessary to keep pace with these growing needs of our society, and it is in the advancement and
continued development of these fields that my interest lies.
Sufficient knowledge of material science, construction techniques, and concrete design is necessary have a true understanding of any one
of these disciplines, and it is my goal to become well-versed in every aspect. Having an advanced understanding of the associated material science as well as of the various techniques utilized in concrete construction is vital to a concrete design that is efficient, sustainable,
and effective. Furthermore, an ability to adapt to and promote growth and change in these fields is necessary for the advancement of
concrete design. With an interest in the advancement of these fields and a desire to fully understand them, I have enrolled in a structural
graduate program and plan to seek continuing education and professional advancement throughout my career as a structural engineer.
It is my hope that, with the knowledge and experience gained throughout my career, I will be able to contribute to the advancement of
the civil engineering profession and to make contributions that will ultimately benefit and further our society.
