Major Highway Projects

Bad weather affects all construction projects - especially cold weather. The effect 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 becomes extremely challenging for contractors.

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 because of 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 do not produce noxious fumes; require no flammable or toxic liquids; and eliminate the need for awkward and expensive equipment. As an added bonus, they can be used to thaw frozen ground prior to pouring the concrete, and then once the concrete is poured they'll ensure that it is properly cured. No matter what the weather, PowerBlanket® concrete curing blankets help major highway projects stay on time and within budget - avoiding costly delays and potential penalties.
