Roger Parrish

PHONE: 228-522-1951

Mr. Parrish is a graduate of East Tennessee State University with a degree in Business Management. He has almost thirty years experience in the construction industry, with a major focus on cement and concrete. During the eighties & nineties, he was Special Products Manager-Southern US for Southdown, Inc., and worked almost exclusively with shrinkage-compensating concrete. His expertise in sales and marketing, as well as his “hands-on” construction experience, has enabled him to secure an abundance of SCC projects throughout the United States, such as the addition to the Cincinnati Airport for Delta Airlines in 1993, distribution centers, various projects for the US Army Corps of Engineers, chemical companies, paper mills, the Armed Services, etc. Mr. Parrish has presented seminars on SCC to many groups throughout the country, including ACI, State R/M Concrete Associations, DOT's, the engineering community, and both public & private industry groups.
Mr. Parrish began his own successful business in Mississippi in 2001, but his belief in shrinkage-compensating concrete and the opportunities for a company such as IAI to penetrate and expand the market, compelled him to sell his company and re-enter the specialty concrete admixtures market early in 2004. |

Mr. Valentine has over 35 years experience in the design and construction of concrete structures, primarily in the heavy industrial sector. He is considered an expert in both shrinkage compensating concretes and containment structures, including secondary containment of hazardous materials. His vast amount of experience with building framing, equipment supports, slabs-on-grade (floors and pavement), and miscellaneous structures has lead him to the use of shrinkage compensating concrete as a better way to design and build these structures.
Mr. Valentine has a Bachelor of Civil Engineer and a Masters of Science in Industrial Engineering. The former has enabled him to pursue a career that includes both structural and civil engineering applications pertaining to industrial, institutional, and commercial applications. The latter provided him with the insight and means, using TQM and value engineering methods, to develop economical structures that are more serviceable, durable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly than similar structures constructed with conventional concrete. The key construction material that provides these benefits, plus others, is the use of shrinkage compensating concrete. He has published several articles and made numerous technical presentations on his developmental work in using shrinkage compensating concrete to reduce, minimize, or eliminate many of the problems inherent in design and construction. |

Mr. Gelhardt is a graduate of the University of Maryland, college of Civil Engineering. He served in the Korean War as a jet fighter pilot for the US Marine Corps, worked overseas for 20 years with Master Builders (A division of Martin Marietta) in developing their international business and joint ventures, while participating in some of the largest international construction projects. He then worked for Mr. E. P. Taylor, an internationally known Canadian entrepreneur and developer, heading seven of his companies throughout Latin America in the development, financing, and construction of low cost concrete housing. Mr. Gelhardt then started MAC_USA, and became a partner in this Italian/American joint venture company in the US, and introduced second-generation superplasticizers to the US market with a major breakthrough in their use in New York City high-rise construction.
He later started his own company, IAL, in 1983 (now called IAI, International Admixtures, Inc.), which is presently marketing chemical admixtures and admixture technology worldwide. He also formed IPC (International Project Consultants) which has been in international project development and financing. He is a committee member of ACI-223 (American Concrete Institute) and a life member of ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) as well as a member of several other professional organizations and international clubs. He is considered expert in concrete and has been in the concrete construction materials and related businesses for over 47 years, along with experience in international project development and financing for the past 20 years. |
