Decosup products in action at the Concrete Canoe competition |
Each year since 1970 ASCE Student Chapters and Clubs have been involved in constructing and racing concrete canoes on the local and regional level.
Some objectives of the National Competition are:
- To provide civil engineering students an opportunity to gain hands-on, practical experience and leadership skills by working with concrete mix designs and project management.
- To build awareness of the versatility and durability of concrete as a construction material among civil engineering students, educators and practitioners, as well as the general public.
- To increase awareness among industry leaders, opinion makers and the general public of civil engineering as a dynamic and innovative profession essential to society.
Decosup products in action: LSU's Torpedo; WSU's Yellow Submarine
Each year the competition is held in a new location and hosted by an ASCE Student Chapter. The rules are modified from year to year to address concerns that have developed from the Regional and National Competitions. The rules changes are designed to challenge not only the students' engineering prowess, but also their creativity.
Altough not an official sponsor, Decosup is proud to have donated products to the concrete canoe competition, and we will continue to do so every year.
Some of our products used in the competition are: Acid Stains, Concrete Dyes, DecoTop Overlays, Decosup's waterproofing Cement.
