Foam Concrete: Features & Applications

What is Foam Concrete? Foam concrete is a fantastic material for producing large quantities of relatively low-strength void-filling material; it can be easily pumped long distances and it will fill most cavities.  Since foam concrete is so fluid and flowing, it can “search” without needing to be leveled or compacted. In addition, foam concrete can […]

Types of Pipe Fittings & Applications

Fittings come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are used to connect one or more pipes and/or change the direction of a straight pipe line. According to codes, any pipe change in a drainage system must have a radius of curvature large enough to avoid silt accumulation and provide suitable hydraulic flow characteristics. These

Concrete Vibrators: Types & Applications

A concrete vibrator is used to ensure that the concrete becomes compact while putting concrete i.e. the concrete is placed without the inclusion of air bubbles which can affect its strength and it is necessary in most cases because the fluidity of concrete is limited by the amount of water used in the mixture. What

Paint Chalking: Causes & Prevention

Chalking is the formation of a white, chalky powder on the exterior surface of the paint.This condition frequently occurs when the paint has weathered and the binder has been exposed to sunlight and moisture, causing the pigment-binder bond to weaken. When exposed to the outside air, almost all paints will develop some backing over time.
