Road and Bridge Construction and Repair: ‘Tis the Season
Spring in Canada is “construction and repair season”, a time when construction professionals assess what toll the winter has taken on our roads and bridges. As heavy construction and infrastructure experts, architects and engineers play an integral role in determining which products work best for both new builds and repair projects.
The construction professionals at CPD® Construction Products understand what’s important to architects and engineers when providing recommendations for their projects, such as:
- Product Properties: Of utmost importance to architects and engineers are the physical properties of the products they use. Do the separate components blend well to ensure consistent performance under the stress of heavy use?
- Quality Control: Overall product quality is a major factor when deciding on a product. Is it durable enough to handle extreme Canadian temperature fluctuations and the stress of heavy use over the long-term?
- Product Training: When investing in construction products, it’s paramount that the crews know exactly how to mix, apply, and cure the materials. How can the vendor help you ensure that the crews are properly instructed and trained?
- On-site Technical Support: Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances happen where there may be questions or issues using the product. If there are any problems, how much support does the vendor offer to help the project progress smoothly?
- Availability: You have a schedule to keep and deadlines to meet. This means that the products need to be available upon request. Can the vendor fulfill orders within a reasonable timeframe?
Fortunately for construction professionals, CPD® Construction Products has the answers.
