Hanson Pipe & Products

I have called and emailed a sales contact and other people at my company have also looked at their design submittals, they have been extremely responsive. For instance, a client has a problem, I need to solve that problem, so I email Hanson Pipe and show them my sketch and they call me back and say no we can’t do that, but we can do this and send me two examples. We show those two examples to our client who then says yeah, I like that one. So it’s solved.
The other fun I had was when we needed to go to their box culvert/​vault fabrication facility and we got to see how the process works. It was very cool, they have this vibratory platform that shakes as the concrete is being poured into the form ensuring that all voids are eliminated and concrete is forced to go around all of the embedments (ie rebar and lifting eyes), the form is lifted off of the vibratory platform to cure. This system is housed in a climate controlled warehouse to ensure proper temperature and humidity during the cure process. The steel forms are re-​used.
