In 1982, Mr. Haynes established Haynes & Associates to provide concrete consulting services to the construction industry, public agencies, and legal firms. His office specializes in investigating concrete problems.
Mr. Haynes has focused his career of over five decades, on the study of concrete as a construction material. He conducted research on concrete for 15 years at the Navy's Civil Engineering Laboratory. As an authority on concrete, he taught a graduate level course at the University of California at Berkeley. As an author, he published over 75 technical papers on concrete, and produced a video on "Avoiding Cracks in Concrete Slabs-on-Grade". For the past 40 years, he has been a consultant in private practice.
