January 29th, 2012

Ecobust for breaking rock or concrete

There are lots of options when it comes to removing that drab and split concrete sidewalk that you have been staring at for years. Your thinking its time to remove it but really don’t want to spend the money with hiring a contractor or spend countless hours of your own time and back breaking effort to get it removed.

Now there is a product that provides another option and is much less expensive and less back breaking. The product is called Ecobust. It can break concrete like you have never seen before. Its a non explosive demolition compound that creates 20,000 PSI at full expansion. Ecobust provides controlled demolition according to the pattern of holes drilled. It breaks both concrete and reinforced concrete in the desired shape and size efficiently, without noise or vibration. You simply have to drill, mix and pour this product into 1 1/2″ holes that are drilled to 80% of the depth of the concrete. In a few hours the work is done having done these three simple steps.

Ecobust is distributed by Otter Creek and can be purchased in 11lb bags for $43.00 and 44lb bags for $109.00. Ecobust is sold through selected retailers in Canada and the United States. If you have interest in purchasing, or just have some questions about this innovative product please contact Otter Creek at 1-800-981-3590

New Test Results for Titan Post Anchor coming in early 2012.

December 22nd, 2011

 

Titan Wood Post Anchor

Question from City of Barrie

 I am a Plans Examiner for the City of Barrie and I have a homeowner that wants to use the Titan Post Anchors. Do you have any testing that is stamped by an Engineer of Ontario?

Reply from Richard Bergman

Thank you Robert for your message.  In early December we successfully completed very extensive engineering testing for compliance with guard rails according to both the Ontario and Canadian building codes for our 4×4 post anchor up to 42″.   Intertek has a world class cadre of engineers and the report is being drafted right now.  This should be available some time early in the new year.  It will include maximum spacing, joist blocking, fastener and other specific configuration related details.  I trust it will satisfy all areas of interest.

Reply from City of Barrie

Thanks for the quick reply. It appears like it will satisfy what we require before we will approve the use of the product in the City of Barrie. I am sending a blind copy of this reply to the homeowner so that he is aware that it should be approved in the near future. I look forward to receiving the report when it is ready for our review.

General Info

To date thousands of the Titan Post Anchors have been installed both in Canada and the United States with great success and positive feedback from customers. Titan continues to expand its testing with all its products to continually satisfy the building code requirements in both Canada and the United States.
