Major Highway Projects
Bad weather affects all construction projects - especially cold weather. The affect of inclement weather on major projects like highway construction can be costly in both time and money - especially when completion penalties are taken into consideration. Many state contracts call for penalties to be levied against contractors who don't complete jobs on time. When the weather is cold, the situation is complicated by building codes that require concrete curing at specified temperatures for optimal strength and durability.
Most major highway builders use large, clumsy boiler systems to cure concrete in the winter. Those boiler systems work, but they're inconvenient, expensive, and awkward to use - plus they present environmental difficulties due to fumes, discharge, and open flame control.
Powerblanket™ concrete curing blankets allow highway construction companies to stay on schedule, meet code, and eliminate environmental concerns. They produce no noxious fumes; use no flammable or toxic liquids; and don't require the use of awkward and expensive equipment. As an added bonus, they can be used to thaw frozen ground, and then once the concrete is poured they'll ensure properly cured concrete. No matter what the weather, powerblanket™ concrete curing blankets help major highway projects stay on time and on budget - avoiding costly delays and potential penalties.
