From catch basins, reinforced columns, underground storage systems and more, precast fabrication plays a major role in supporting the many different utility and structural infrastructures residents and businesses rely on daily. The extensive use of precast concrete continues to have wide adoption from both engineers and architects who are looking to its structural durability, versatile applications, and modular compositions. With any level of construction, safety is above all else the most important for its team and customers. MAX USA Corp. has been and continues to support end-users who operate in these plants with the latest tools. They also provide guidance, and training to carry out profitable and safe work.
One nationwide precast plant has been utilizing MAX rebar tying tools for the past several years. They use these across all their divisions because of the increase in productivity they experience using the products. Recently, Production Manager, Curtis S. integrated the Stand-Up RB401T-E tool for his construction activities. “We have over 70 people tying rebar each day with 50% of it being slab work, so the areas where we can use the RB401T-E for those applications, we provide it to our guys. We have a gentleman who is over 65 years of age who can efficiently and safely carryout work. It’s been a great solution for us by helping to reduce project cost and increase our productivity safely.”- Curtis S.
