Zeigler Concrete

Nowadays, concrete is used for almost all types of construction purposes. From railroads and bridges to waterways, the use of concrete can be found everywhere and is considered as the backbone of all construction projects.

One of the challenges of concrete pumping is the fact that concrete undergoes constant changes during its lifecycle. For example, evaporation and hydration reactions can affect cement volume and affect flow and workability.

The word concrete has a Latin origin which makes the likelihood that concrete may go back as far as the Roman times. Some structures still stand today in the Mediterranean, which they are great examples of the strength of concrete.

Concrete is the foundation, literally, of the United States. It has and continues to be used to create things like airports, factories, sewer systems, and even mass transit systems. Without it, most structures in the modern world wouldn’t have been possible.
