But many of us in the business have been through these upturns and downturns before. Let's just hope this time around it's not so severe. One method of gaining an upper hand over your competitor is using electric heated ground thawing and concrete curing blanket. Doing so will allow year round production and will keep crews working even in the dead of winter. Powerblanket's patented heat spreading technology delivers a barrier of warmth to everything it touches, and its insulated design keeps the heat in and the cold out... even in sub zero weather. UL/CSA versions available including blue UL vinyl rated to -65F (negative 65F). site: http://www.powerblanket.com/Concrete_Curing-c-1.html I read and heard similar reports that the recovery of the construction industry is going to be long and slow.

Would you know how large is the segment of business for Tilt-up Concrete? Though we have done many different types of projects, we have yet to do a Tilt-up Concrete set of shop drawings. At a recent trade show we were asked if we could do these kinds of drawings and not being prepared or informed about Tilt-up Construction, I could not say. Many trades use shop drawings that are not part of the main CD set. Our clients or the installer are responsible for drawing content thus they own the drawings we produce. I'd hoped to learn more about this subject in this group. Thank you for the blog and I will keep my eye out for more information. Regards, Craig!
