SUMMARY:September 2026: Managing Building Movement with Joints
DESCRIPTION:Agenda:\n10:30   Registration\n11:00   Tours\n12:00   Lunch/CE – Expansion Joint Systems\n1:00     Adjourn\nIn-Person ONLY Meeting\nCOST\nIn-Person Members – $20\nIn-Person Non-Members – $30\nJoin us Tuesday, September 15th for our next BEC Presentation!\n \n \nCourse Title: Managing Building Movement with Joints\nSpeaker:          Chris Kasa w/Nystrom Inc.\nBio:                       Chris Kasa, Architectural & Design Specification Manager – Based in Minneapolis, MN, Chris has 25+ years of commercial construction industry experience at Nystrom Inc. in various roles and currently leads their specification team by partnering with design professionals to provide substantial product solutions, detailed technical support, and superior service.\nProgram Description \nThis program will include plant tours of Nystrom’s 2 production facilities in Brooklyn Park. Following the tour will be a presentation on preformed expansion joint systems.\nCourse Description\nThis course will help the designer to correctly determine the proper specification for building movement joints. Selecting, designing, detailing and specifying building joints is a complex task which can be simplified by following a logical process to first determine joint requirements, location and type. Once we know the size and geometry of the joint system we then can identify the wall, floor, ceiling, and roof systems that are impacted. After finishes are determined for these systems we then can begin to cover the joints in a way that works well with those finishes and meets the functional and performance requirements for the surface. CAD and BIM details and specifications are readily available for incorporating building joints into a project. A complete discussion of Seismic Joints is beyond the scope of this presentation.\nThe presentation and lunch will be at 9224 73rd Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, MN  55428. There will be signage upon entering the building to direct guests to the 2nd floor “OK Corral” conference room. There will be some parking in the lot and additional parking on the street & Living Word Christian Center just north of Nystrom.\nSchedule\n10:30   Registration\n11:00   Tours\n12:00   Lunch/CE – Expansion Joint Systems\n1:00     Adjourn\nFood will be catered by Qdoba.\n\n
