New Product Spotlight: ONE TOUCH PACKER
The ONE TOUCH PACKER offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional high pressure injection ports and mechanical packers. Its unique, patented construction eliminates costly and extraneous metal pieces, replacing time-consuming zerk fittings with an interior ball valve that opens only while chemical grout / epoxy is being injected.
The ONE TOUCH PACKER offers a maximum pressure of 5,000 PSI and is constructed of lightweight, but strong polycarbonate with a rubber sleeve. The head of the ONE TOUCH PACKER is designed to break off using a standard hammer, increasing efficiency of finishing the injection holes once injection is complete.
We will be featuring this product at the World of Concrete. Stay tuned to our website and this newsletter for more information.

Engineers give U.S. infrastructure poor grades; Stimulus to help with funds allocated for infrastructure repairs
By Andrew Stern
CHICAGO, Jan 28 (Reuters) - U.S. roads, airports, schools, levees, dams, and other infrastructure are in overall poor shape and require a $2.2 trillion investment to bring them up to par, an engineering group said on Wednesday.
The American Society of Civil Engineers gave infrastructure a grade of "D" as U.S. President Barack Obama seeks $825 billion in extra government spending and tax cuts to ease the economic crisis.
Infrastructure earned the same dismal grade in 2005, but the group's estimated five-year price tag to fix it rose by $600 billion to $2.2 trillion.
Earlier this month, the engineers estimated that the president's stimulus package contained some $90 billion in infrastructure spending. It called that amount a down payment that was long overdue.
