JOB SITE
Sea-Train Office Building
THE CHALLENGE
To assure placement of dense concrete with architectural finish in 18" square x 28" tall supporting piers.
THE EQUIPMENT
Concrete, 2" slump supplied by ready-mix truck, to be placed into Symons forms. VIBCO US-900 electric external vibrators fitted with bolt-on brackets. Power available: 115 volt, AC, from field generators.
VIBCO'S SOLUTION
The Symons forms had angle L-iron stiffening frames to which US-900 bolt-on adapters could be attached. Vibrators mounted to forms in a staggered manner on opposite sides at the 2', 7', 12', 17', 22' and 27' levels. They were operated in succession for about one minute each until concrete reached about 6" above each vibrator. Vibrators were moved to next higher position as pour pro- gressed.
THE RESULT
No honeycombs! No unsightly holes! No patching up! A good-looking job done quickly and efficiently.
THE CUSTOMER SAYS
"The best equipment purchase we ever made!"
