Speakers
Blake Wright
Project Manager, Raba Kistner, Inc.
Mr. Wright is responsible for managing geotechnical engineering projects throughout San Antonio and south/central Texas. He first worked for Raba Kistner, Inc., from 2007 to 2014 and recently re-joined the firm in March of 2018. Mr. Wright has extensive experience with all geotechnical engineering applications with a focus on rigid and flexible pavement design, soil stabilization, and pavement construction. Prior to re-joining Raba Kistner, Inc., he was a paving engineer at CEMEX where he was responsible for promoting the use of cement-based paving options which included unreinforced concrete pavements, roller-compacted concrete, cement-stabilized soil and cement-treated base, and full-depth asphalt reclamation. On a daily basis he provided pavement designs, cost analyses, and other technical recommendations to public agencies, developers, consultants, and contractors. Mr. Wright has a bachelor of arts degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University and both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
Corey Zollinger
CEMEXManager & Director of Paving Solutions, CEMEXMr. Zollinger develops optimized pavement solutions for public and private clients. He provides technical support for conventional concrete pavement, roller-compacted concrete pavement, and cement stabilization installations to owners, specifiers, and contractors. He also provides technical and strategic support to ten pavement engineers located in CEMEX markets. Mr. Zollinger is chairman of the Board of Directors of the RCC Pavement Council and a member of the Board of Directors of the International Society of Concrete Pavements. He is also a member of the Portland Cement Concrete Construction Committee of the Transportation Research Board, and an RCC Task Force Member for the American Concrete Pavement Association. Mr. Zollinger earned his M.S. degree in Civil Engineering, emphasis in Pavement Engineering, from Texas A&M University.
