Owens Corning and the Concrete Preservation Institute recently reached an agreement through which Owens Corning and its foundation will support CPI’s Career Skills Program at Pearl Harbor. This program will restore the historic Battleship Row mooring quays, while helping U.S. Army personnel transition to civilian jobs. Details of the agreement include Owens Corning Foundation donating $100,000 to support CPI’s Career Skills Program at Pearl Harbor. The foundation will also donate fiberglass composites to CPI for use in restoration work, where appropriate, in the Pearl Harbor Battleship Row mooring quays — used to secure the ships along Battleship Row and the last structures remaining from the attack on Dec. 7, 1941. Owens Corning volunteers will also provide materials expertise to the project. CPI’s Career Skills Program is the first overseas program to be approved by the U.S. Army and the only one focused on concrete. Service members from any military branch can participate in the Pearl Harbor program at no cost due to program partnerships, donations and grants. Active-duty service members will participate in CPI’s three yearly, 12-week sessions for the Battleship Row mooring quay restoration project. They will learn hands-on about concrete, construction and historic preservation while helping preserve one of the country’s most important historical sites. à www.owenscorning.com
