Concrete Can Be Messy, But These Concrete Vibrators Ensure Smooth Results

Another important aspect of dealing with concrete is ensuring that it has a good consistency once it sets. When it’s being poured there can be a lot of air bubbles. This can reduce the structural integrity and appearance of concrete, which is why it’s important to minimize the number of air bubbles. That’s where concrete vibrators come in. As the name suggests, they vigorously vibrate concrete to ensure a smooth and even finish. There are a few different kinds of concrete vibration, including form vibration, surface vibration, and internal vibration. Internal vibration is the focus of the options below because it can be done by a single operator. The way it works is by inserting a probe attached to a hose into the concrete. The end vibrates to deliver even consistency.

New York Awards First Contract for $2.3B Syracuse I-81 Project

Construction start date remains unclear amid state court injunction on work

By James Leggate

New York officials have awarded the first construction contract for a controversial $2.3-billion highway project in Syracuse that would remove the I-81 viaduct running through the city. But it is unclear when work can begin since project work remains halted by a state court injunction won by opponents. 

Earlier this month, a state supreme court judge heard arguments from attorneys representing the state and the plan’s opponents. He has not yet issued a decision.
