EXHIBITOR MINI-SHOPS **NEW**

Sunday, November 2
9:00am-9:55am

Combining Security with Good Design
Presented by Dura Art Stone, Inc., Thomas D. Seifert, president.
9:00am-9:20am

Historically, the security industry has been 90% to 95% electronic and 5% to 10% force protection (the physical side of the industry).

The major integrators of security design traditionally have been firms specializing in electronics. In this new era, electronic security cannot stand alone. A more comprehensive approach to security design is being taken, which includes the introduction of the physical security integrator. Force protection and perimeter security involve a wide range of products and a number of key disciplines including blast resistance and glass hazard mitigation; bullet, attack, and forced entry resistance; perimeter protection; and facility and entry control.

The major challenge is to achieve the desired level of protection without the sacrifice of good design. The manufacturers of products in this field welcome the opportunity to work with the design community to reach both objectives. One of the most significant contributors to projects with less than outstanding design is the sheer number of people involved. The landscape architect is in the unique position to assume the role of security design collaborator. For more information, visit Booth #501.

Pressure-Treated Wood & New Generation Products
Presented by Arch Wood Protection, Inc., Pam Mitchell, manager.
9:00am-9:20am

Media attention, homeowner questions, and the EPA’s announced transition to new generation treatments have put pressure-treated wood in the spotlight. Pam Mitchell, manager of national accounts of Arch Wood Protection, will talk about the issues regarding treated wood and their likely effects on building practices. She will describe the new products, outlining their differences from, and similarities to, traditional treatments. Arch Wood Protection manufactures both traditional CCA (Copper, Chromated Arsenate) used in Wolmanized® wood for the past 70 years and a new copper-based preservative, Wolmanized® Natural Select™ Copper Azole that will be the new alternative treatment for decks, play sets, retaining walls, sill plates, fences, picnic tables, planter boxes, walkways, and structural members. An exception is saltwater applications where use of Wolmanized® Natural Select™—AWPA—CA, copper azole, is not presently recommended. For more information, visit Booth #230.

Design Utilizing Architectural Concrete Paving and Set Your Projects Apart from the Crowd
Presented by Bomanite Corporation.
9:35am-9:55am

Why settle for dull, gray concrete paving when you can have an attractive, three-dimensional surface? Bomanite, the original cast-in-place architectural concrete, offers more design choices and flexibility than ever before. Come learn how the designer and the clients can benefit by specifying Bomanite in their next project, taking advantage of a virtually limitless palette of colors, textures, shapes, and patterns. This session is designed to provide a better understanding of the possibilities of the creative design in concrete. Learn about the methods and materials utilized in innovative decorative concrete paving options from the company that pioneered the imprinting process almost 50 years ago. Learn how to integrate personality and product, crafting solutions to bring ideas to life rather than forcing ideas to conform to a limited product line. Superior durability, versatility, and performance are all areas that can be counted on when you specify Bomanite. Pathways, walkways, driveways, entries, patios, streets, medians, pool decks, and common areas aesthetically improve when Bomanite is incorporated into the project by adding visual appeal and harmonizing existing features of the project.

Container Irrigation for Pots and Planters in Commercial and High-End Residential Landscapes
Presented by Planter Technology.
9:35am-9:55am

Pots and planters are common features in today’s commercial and high-end residential landscapes. Most landscape architects recognize the headaches associated with making sure they are irrigated properly. Whether using conventional automatic irrigation systems or simple hand watering, owners and contractors can tell horror stories of slip-and-fall liabilities, stained surfaces, and dead plants.

This session will discuss conventional means of getting water to plants in pots and planters and go in depth on new alternatives, including reservoir-based container irrigation systems. The session will also touch on water efficiency, plant requirements, and typical field issues as well as touch on consistent problems and solutions based upon new technologies.
