You are more than welcome to come join us as well as bring a coworker or friend to the event.  We look forward to working with you in the future and want to help make your projects better with the use of geosynthetics.

Cured Product: MSDS

One of the primary concerns when placing permeable materials near plant life and over soil is the longterm safety of the product. Will the product leach into the ground? Is it carcinogenic? These are questions commonly asked by design professional when considering which product to use. On the Cell-Tek website you can find posted a copy of the Gravel-Lok MSDS (cured Product) report.

In the report you will discover that Gravel-Lok in its cured state becomes an inert substance meaning it becomes chemically inactive. The physical state is a solid which is not soluble in water. The cured product is stable and not reactive.

The toxicological findings show that it is not considered a carcinogen with the following agencies:
1. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
2. National Toxicology Program (NTP)
3. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

Building a Tradeshow Booth: Mants Show 2010

This year for the Mants show we created a puzzle display layout.  The reason for this when rectangular samples are laid out most people think that we are making block paving stones.  We wanted to create an interesting design that poised the question:  What is this?

It worked the audience found our display puzzling and attractive and was a huge hit at the Mants show in Baltimore, Maryland.

Step 1:  

We projected on two sheets of plywood a puzzle layout.  We traced the outline with a magic marker

Step 2:

The plywood was cut out into the puzzle shapes.  The puzzle was then put back together and a 3 inch aluminum divider was put in place to separate the different aggregates used for each puzzle piece.

We were unable to get the puzzle pieces apart so we picked up the whole display with a fork lift and loaded it on a pick up truck and brought the whole unit to the tradeshow.  Weighing in at 1600 lbs. it was quite a venture.
