34. AVT™ EZ VALVE® And R2M Site Services Ensured The Hot Water Kept Running At UK Hospital 1/10/2022

    When a leak and burst was identified on LTHW (low temperature, hot water) 10” pipes in a UK hospital, turning off the water to fix the issue was not an option. The hospital needed its water supply to remain on to ensure it could continue to treat patients. Following an 18-month investigation into the issue, the hospital’s contractor Morris Mechanical Services, contacted AVT’s UK installer R2M Site Services who suggested installing a number of AVT EZ Valves to create control points enabling repairs to be made.

36. How To Avoid Cold Joint Shear Failure By Using GeoSpray® Geopolymer Mortar 1/10/2022

    On real-world construction sites, unexpected and unanticipated circumstances can result in delays or work stoppages. Additionally, many job sites can be subject to restricted work hours due to local traffic issues or community-related ordinances. When working with the placement of cement, these types of work stoppages or delays can result in the formation of a cold joint. A cold joint is an undesired discontinuity between two layers of concrete. A cold joint occurs due to the inability of freshly poured wet cement to intermingle and bind with an already hardened cement.

37. What Is A Geopolymer? 1/10/2022

    Dating back to the earliest historical uses of cementitious formulations as building materials, society has looked for ways to use the wide variety of available raw materials to improve the physical properties of the final products. Evidence of the inclusion of volcanic materials such as volcanic ashes by the ancient Greeks dates back to at least 500–400 BC. As early as the 1920s, cement formulators have employed refined industrial byproducts such as fly ash, metal slag and processed silicas, collectively referred to as pozzolans, as fillers and aggregates in standard cements. Today, almost all cement formulations contain some percentage of these natural or manmade by-products.

38. Choosing The Right Culvert Repair Solution 1/10/2022

    Choosing the right approach to solve your specific repair situation is not always a simple task. The appropriate solution depends on the type of culvert deterioration, the root cause of the problem, and the extent to which the structure of the failing culvert allows you to rehabilitate rather than replace. The full solution to rehabilitating a deteriorated culvert may also depend on correcting failed conditions on the outside of the culvert at the inlet and outlet.
