ment. it
A poured solid concrete basement weighs about 50 lbs. more per cubic
foot! Far denser. What’s more, poured solid concrete walls are monolithic
.. .there are no joints!
This is why laboratory tests show poured, solid concrete basements
have many times the flexural and compressive strength to withstand the
side and down pressures caused by earth, wind, water and building loads
and the material density to resist water penetration.
Best of all, thanks to modern and efficient construction techniques,
poured,'"solid concrete basements are competitively priced.
Solid Concrete For:
• Manure Pit Walts • House Foundation Walls
• Hog House Wails • Silage Pit Walls
• Barnyard Walls • Cistern Walls
• Chicken House Walls • Concrete Decks
• Retaining Walls • Concrete Pit Tops
