Thomaston, CT – Coreslab Structures (CONN) Inc. recently welcomed students from the National Summer Transportation Institute Program (NSTI).

During the visit, Coreslab provided a presentation showing various uses of precast concrete cladding and structural elements by showing the students real world project examples. The presentation was followed by a tour of the production facility.

The NSTI program at CCSU is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and managed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT).

The goal of the program is to improve science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills by providing high school students, minority, young women, and disadvantaged youth with awareness regarding careers in transportation and encourage them to take transportation-related technical curricula in pursuit of a transportation career.
