Foam Concepts will be hosting a Hospitality Suite on Wednesday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Dennis Dunham of Foam Concepts will present a slide show discussing past projects involving PUF.  The presentation will include mine closures (shafts, adits, portals), bat friendly closures, subsidence feature sealing (cracks, intersection caves), environmental uses, and plugging wells, coreholes, and stream beds.  A simulation of an actual shaft closure (bench scale) will be also be shown, and participants will be able to mix and pour foam.
