FOAM CORE
Insulating Panels
A new manufacturing
technology helps solve the challenges of adding insulating
foam to precast concrete wall panels, making the Versa Core
line the first hollow-core product to cast in window and door
openings. In addition to design flexibility, the new line
also improves heating and cooling efficiency up to 30%. The
VersaCore process puts insulating expanded polystyrene foam
billets directly into the wet concrete, eliminating the cost
of the gravel and equipment to remove it. The panels with
foam billets weigh less than hollow-core and offer one of
the highest R-value ratings available in a concrete panel,
says the provider. FABCON INC.;

temporary cofferdam, stream diversion system and fluid retention
basin is environmentally safe. It is used for all types of

accomplished in a dry condition without the need for excavation,
pile-driving equipment, earth fill or sandbag dikes, the company
says. PORTADAM INC.; 800/346-4793;
