A-1 Concrete Leveling at Applebee's

This video was recorded when completing a concrete leveling project at an Applebee's Restaurant in November 2009. We eliminated an entry-slab hazard and we did so before the restaurant opened which saved them not just budget dollars, but more costly down-time and customer inconvenience.

Seasonal Shutdown? No Way!

Even though the snow continues to fall, we can still complete certain projects! Of course, outside projects aren't much of an option right now...but interior projects can still be completed.

During the week between Christmas and New Year, we completed an interior warehouse project at the Goodyear-Dunlop Tire manufacturing facility in Tonawanda, NY. The timing was ideal for the facility manager as that time-frame is a recurring annual shut-down week and minimal scheduling changes needed to be made to facilitate completion of the project. Also, he was able to take advantage of 2009 budget dollars that would have gone unused.

So, to all our industrial, commercial and municipal customers, please keep in mind that the snow on the ground now does not keep us from completing your interior project now.
