What we discussed:

• Overview of 3 key products
  • Concrete on a roll (Concrete Canvas®)
  • Steel mesh alternative (MXR/Mine-Shield Grid™)
  • Load bearing grid (BXC/Swamp Grid™)
• Concrete Canvas® mining applications and how it's eco-friendly and easier to install compared to ready-mix cement.
• Mine-Shield Grid™ mining applications and benefits on how much safer and cost-effective it is compared to the steel mesh alternative.
• Swamp Grid™ mining applications and functions and how it reduces granular base course thickness up to 40% = construction cost savings.
