Tutorials: GCC Pueblo Plant Tutorial
The GCC Pueblo plant staff has developed an intensive day long series of invaluable mini-tutorials geared specifically for plant personnel. Discover what it takes to produce cement under some of the most challenging process constraints with the toughest permit conditions. Each session will look at the process, the people, and the equipment: what was designed, operational trials and successes, and final implementation. A critical aspect will be the "lessons learned" open dialogue portion.
This is a must-attend event that is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to train your plant personnel.
