Speakers
Victor Cervantes, EIT
Pavements Engineer, CEMEXPavements Engineer, CEMEXMr. Cervantes graduated from California State University, Northridge (CSUN), with a Bachelor of Science degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering and a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (U of I). As a college student he conducted research on several topics at CSUN, Carnegie Mellon University, NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the U of I. His Master’s thesis focused on minimizing concrete pavement thickness through full scale pavement testing of short slabs. Upon completion of his graduate work, he was hired by the US Navy to develop an airfield concrete pavement material that could resist extremely elevated temperatures and pressures. He currently works for CEMEX as a pavements engineer, promoting the use of cement based paving solutions. When he is not at a construction site or talking about concrete, he lends a helping hand with programs that encourage youth to graduate with post-secondary STEM degrees.
Clay Slocum
Pavements Engineer at California Nevada Cement Association in Chico, CAMr. Slocum joined CNCA as the Northern California/Northern Nevada pavements engineer in January 2014 before being promoted to Director of Engineering in 2020. He provides technical expertise, education, concrete resources, and several other services to municipalities, engineers, and developers to advance the understanding and use of cementitious roadway solutions for streets, highways, and parking areas. Mr. Slocum specializes in conventional concrete, full-depth reclamation, roller compacted concrete, concrete overlays, and pervious concrete, but is knowledgeable on most cement-related applications. He is the Past President of the American Concrete Institute (ACI NCAWNV Chapter) and ASCE Feather River Branch and is active in other local societies including APWA, SNCA, and others.
Prior to joining CNCA, Mr. Slocum worked as a geotechnical consulting engineer in Walnut Creek, California. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering after completing undergraduate courses at University of the Pacific (Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and a minor in Engineering Management). Mr. Slocum is a licensed civil engineer in the states of California and Nevada.
