Working at the docks
We are filling fender pile annuluses with a high flow grout. As you can see we are not using a volumetric mixer. Specialty grouts usually require a high shear colloidal mixer. This type of mixer insures that the cement is completely hydrated.
Specialty Grouting with High Shear Colloidal Mixer
The little truck that could
Welcome truck 901 back to the CRC fleet. Every few years our trucks are taken out of service and reconditioned to keep them in tip top shape. Our goal is to produce a consistent material with predictable results.
CRC goes to School
A previous foundation repair left several rooms in an elementary school with significant voids, which needed to be filled before the end of summer. Jobs like these require more work on the front end to ensure they are completed quickly and cleanly.
The engineer called for a grout to stabilize/void fill the observed voids. We used our volumetric mixers to batch over 100 cubic yards on-site and pumped the grout over 3 days.
CRC Difference
We often talk about the CRC difference, but what does that mean. Here is one example. We custom blend soils and run them through a screener to remove organic material and help maintain a consistent sand sieve analysis. A consistent soil mix leads to predictable results. We also store our materials onsite out of the weather, so we can keep working while others would have to wait for dirt yards to dry out after a rain.
Test Time
We use state of the art equipment for mixing our grouts, but material testing insures our mixes meet our standards. We blend and screen the raw materials at our facilities to help insure a consistent product and periodically test several different mix designs. This is just another example of the CRC difference. In 28 days we will have the final results for this year.
Mistakes happen, We are the solution
We had to lift over 6000 sq.ft. of walk and drive to bring it up to ADA compliance. Here is a before, during, and after of our work. In some places the work was six inches below grade.
