Ballast is onsite for our #rooftopsolar project in New Bedford, #Massachusetts. We've begun craning hardware to the roof of the structure. We purchase our #solarproject ballast from Highway Concrete, located on the South Coast of Massachusetts. I simply send an email with part counts to Sheila, then she follows up with a quote, and I call back to place the deposit. Then a few weeks later, I come out to pick up 1,680 units of 4x8x16 solid freeze thaw units. I think the units are made locally. Very convenient process. #construction #generalcontractor

Geocomposite Drainage has several types for different applications. The most common type is the Single-Side Sheet Drain. However, if you are looking at a retaining wall and replacing the drainage pipe and gravel altogether, the Combination Drain might be the better choice. Give us a call and let us help you determine the correct product for your application. 888-381-0800. #ReedGrahamGeo #AWD #stripdrain #trenchdrain #geocomposite #drainage #construction #civilengineering #CDOT #athletics #StudioWArchitects #kimleyhorn #VerdeDesignInc #EnhanceTheOutdoors #LandscapeArchitecture #CivilEngineering #SportPlanningAndDesign #stormwater #drainage #sportsturf #stormwatermanagement #surfacewater #groundwater #CleanWater #engineering #civilconstruction #civilengineer #publicworks #watermanagement #engineeringsolutions #designandbuild

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲❓💧 At Camp Hill, Birmingham, Premcrete's Hydrostop BR is making waves in Europe's largest modular build. Captured in action on site, this transformative mixed-use development spans 4.2 acres near Birmingham's city center, with Hydrostop BR playing a key role in solving critical waterproofing challenges. What is Hydrostop BR❓ It’s a hydrophilic synthetic rubber waterstop with sodium bentonite, designed to: 🔺 Swell up to 400% in contact with water. 🔺 Seal construction joints in cast in-situ concrete. 🔺 Provide resistance to hydraulic pressure. Where does it shine❓ Perfect for basements, lift pits, tunnels, and more, Hydrostop BR delivers a watertight seal, even tackling shrinkage cracks for long-lasting protection. See it in action!

tunnel construction is an underground passage provided beneath earth surface or water. Different methods of tunnel construction and their details are discussed. In most of the cases tunnel construction is expensive but it saves time and provides comfort. Large excavation of soil or rock etc. is necessary for a tunnel construction. With the availability of modern equipment, excavation and backfilling has become easier. Tunnels can be used for roadways, railways and even as waterways also. In many cities, underground metro rail networks work inside a tunnel. There are various types of construction techniques developed for construction of tunnels: +Cut and cover method +Bored tunnel method + Clay kicking method +Shaft method +Pipe jacking method +Box jacking method +Underwater tunnels

It involves the use of long, slender columns called piles bored into the ground to form a firm foundation for a structure. For us @m.a.r.abuprojectsltd we priortise safety, that's why we specifically use the bored piles on our construction projects where the soil on its own cannot support the heavy load of the building. It involves drilling holes into the ground and then filling with concrete. #realestate #marabuprojectsservices #propertydevelopment #shortlet #serviceapartments #newproject #smarthomes

Diaphragm walls serve as both static structural elements and barriers against water infiltration. They can be utilized as retaining walls, barriers to prevent water seepage, or as part of a building's foundation. Typically constructed from concrete or reinforced concrete, diaphragm walls are highly resistant to water penetration. The excavation process involves the use of cable excavators equipped with #diaphragm_wall grabs or cutters, while a supporting fluid is utilized to facilitate the process.
Diaphragm Walls - We're the Experts! Diaphragm walls have a static and/or sealing function and are suitable as a retaining wall, sealing wall or foundation element. They are created as concrete or reinforced concrete walls and are considered almost impermeable to water. Your excavation is carried out by cable excavators with suitable diaphragm wall grabs or cutters using a supporting fluid. Bauer Foundation Corp. offer a range of geotechnical solutions, each suited to different ground conditions and project requirements and suitability.
