    Description

    Inground concrete structures meant to indefinitely contain water are prone to significant and potentially disastrous defects when not built correctly. Those preventable missteps often result in structural failures and result in all-too-frequent litigation. This course examines effective preventive and corrective techniques, workmanship and performance standards that prevent costly defects and damage.
