Armando Silvestri honoured as the recipient
of the Geoff Kinney Sr Industry Award
|
The Concrete Floor Contractors Association of Ontario is pleased to announce that Armando Silvestri has been selected as the recipient of the Geoff Kinney Sr. Industry Award for 2007.
"Sil" was a pioneer in flat floor construction. In 1976, while in his role as a partner and Vice President of Duron, Sil and his crew installed the World’s first Fmin100 Super Flat Floor (receiving the first Gold Trowel Award from the FACE company for this work). The techniques he developed produced extremely flat ("Super Flat") concrete floor surfaces which permitted the operation of automatic wire-guided lift trucks in a very narrow aisle, high rack configuration. These specialized techniques are still used around the World today.
It is with great pride that the concrete finishing industry presents this award to Sil, with sincere thanks for his efforts, over many years, to the concrete finishing industry of Ontario and Canada.
