Part 4: Drainage for Concrete Sleeper Retaining Walls Proper drainage is essential for the stability and longevity of concrete sleeper retaining walls. Without it, water build-up can compromise the structure, potentially leading to failure. Key drainage components include gravel backfill to enhance filtration, drainage pipes to channel water away, and geotextile fabric to separate soil from drainage materials. At Pembroke Construction, we ensure these systems are in place to keep retaining walls strong and durable. 🚧💧 What are your go-to drainage solutions?

Did you know that most precast concrete plants are within 200 miles of a building site? Using local materials reduces the transportation required to ship heavy building materials, and the associated energy and emissions. #didyouknowmonday #howprecastbuilds

When manually mixing concrete on-site during the rainy season, the water-cement ratio that determines the strength and durability of the resulting concrete can be significantly altered. This may lead to inconsistencies and compromised quality that directly threaten the structural stability of the project. And that’s where #ReadyMixConcrete comes in. #FloodsAdvisoryKE | #KenyaFloods | #NairobiFloods | #BuildingKenya https://lnkd.in/e4jE9xcM

🚧 Concrete never stops curing 🚧 While we like to think of curing taking place during a set amount of time, concrete actually never stops curing; it continues to get stronger as time goes on. It does typically take 24-48 hours to dry enough for you to walk or drive on it, and reaches full effective strength after about 28 days. #FunFactFriday #CBC #Construction #getstronger #cement #CraftBuildingAndCivils #CBC #BuildingAndCivils #Building #CivilsAndConstruction #ConstructionCompany

Concrete is the foundation of much of our built environment, from homes and office buildings to roads and driveways. Did you know that 60-75% of concrete's volume is made up of aggregate materials like sand, crushed stone, and gravel? This highlights just how crucial aggregates are to the construction industry. 👷 #okaa #aggregateindustry #oklahomarocks #concreteproduction #oklahomaconstruction #oklahomaeconomy #oklahomainfrastructure #okcok
