How does your region affect the design and construction of your parking lot?  When is the right time to perform maintenance on your pavement investment?  If you’re unsure, then you need to attend our educational session at the 2012 National Facilities Management & Technology Conference (NFMT) in Baltimore, MD.  The event kicks off on Tuesday, March 13, and runs through Thursday, March 15.  During this time, thousands of facility executives from all over the country will converge to learn best practices, network, and view the largest display of facility products and services under one roof.  We hope you are among the many who have already registered!  If not, there is still time…and make sure to sign up for our session on Wednesday, March 14, at 9am.

CAI-IL Conference Recap

Published by Candace on February 8th, 2012

Last week, our Bridgeview-based team had the pleasure of exhibiting at CAI-IL’s 30th Annual Conference & Exposition, held at Arlington Park Racecourse in Arlington Heights, IL.  Since it was the 30thanniversary, the expo had a “Throwback to the Awesome 80’s” theme – and many exhibitors participated.  Our very own Tim Chimack, Julio Chinea, and Jim Benecke dressed as the Ghostbusters – complete with a theme song, custom marshmallows, and a marshmallow gun.  Needless to say, a lot of fun was had amidst conducting business.

Chimack and Chinea also gave an educational presentation on “Preventative Maintenance” on the first day of the conference.  They described many ways to preserve your asphalt and concrete surfaces to keep condo and townhome communities not only aesthetically pleasing, but safe for all residents.

FMC Recap

Published by Candace on March 31st, 2010

Just one week ago, Rose Paving hosted our 11th Facilities Maintenance Conference in Downers Grove, Illinois. This half-day event educated facility and property management professionals from all over the country about sustainable strategies for success as well as methods to maintain pavement and delay structural repairs.

Our team thoroughly enjoyed visiting with our clients and learning more about their challenges.   It was also a great opportunity for everyone in attendance to network with their peers.

Highlights from the day included a panel discussion with industry experts Chuck Sampey of Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, Melissa Jones of CB Richard Ellis, and Ernie Wong of Site Design Group, Ltd.  These seasoned professionals answered several questions about sustainability, obtaining LEED credits, and ways to budget for repairs that benefit the environment.  The conference closed with a hilarious hour of comedy delivered by John Caponera, Chicago’s very own veteran comedian and TV star.

We hope everyone gained valuable information about permeable paver bricks, solar reflective coatings, porous asphalt, and other sustainable parking lot solutions including general maintenance techniques and repairs for existing pavement.  Stay tuned for the next FMC!

If you have a question that was not addressed at the event, please ask it here and we will be happy to provide an answer.
