Michael tells us more about the company’ s current offerings.“ Our main business encompasses everything related to the concrete forming and shoring industry, from engineering and preassembly to the reconditioning of materials. Additionally, we provide specialized services, such as concrete sensing and pressure monitoring. Curing concrete is an exact science, and companies strive to maximize productivity by accurately measuring the pressure and temperature during the curing process. This information is crucial for determining when to strip the concrete forms and shoring, and in reaching a similar concrete color tone.
“ As experts in everything pertaining to concrete, we often work on some of the largest and most complicated structures around the world. What sets us apart from other companies is our engineering services and the innovative products we offer, which are designed to enhance the usability of forming and shoring systems, particularly in response to global labor constraints. By creating solutions that are easier to assemble while maintaining high quality and safety, we ensure that projects are constructed safely, on time, and productively,” he adds.
