WALTHAM, MASS. – The American Concrete Institute (ACI) recently named Dominic Kelly an ACI Fellow for his contributions to the society over the last 12 years. Kelly is an associate principal at national engineering firm Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc. (SGH).
According to ACI’s website, the society bestows the distinction of Fellow upon those who have made outstanding contributions to the production or use of concrete materials, products, and structures in the areas of education, research, development, design, construction, or management as well as contributions to ACI through committees and/or local chapters.
