Foundation / soil stabilization - POLY-MOR's process for stabilizing foundations or the base soils beneath foundations employs a special high density expanding polymer which is placed directly under the foundation or at depth in the problem soils. As the resin mixture expands, voids a filled under the structure and then a controlled mold pressure is exerted either directly under the structure or at depth. The increase in load bearing capacity is a direct function of the base soil make up and we strongly suggest a geo technical investigation be carried out to determine soil types for your location.
Holcim Sustainable Concrete Toboggan Prize goes to Ryerson University!
TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Racing a 300 lb sled made of concrete down a snow covered hill? Leave it to Canadian engineering students to make it reality!
The Greater Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR), a Canadian tradition where hundreds of engineering students build and race concrete toboggans, recently concluded its 38th year in Calgary, Alberta.
Further to being a title sponsor for the event, Holcim Canada challenged students to build their toboggans in a sustainable manner by offering the Holcim Canada Sustainable Concrete Toboggan Prize.
The entries were evaluated by looking at criteria such as the use of recycled materials, sourcing local materials, after use of the sled and more.
Ryerson University won the main race as well as Holcim Canada's prize for building the most sustainable concrete toboggan.
Congratulations team Ryerson!
