When a standard-weight concrete is not acceptable, a heavier weight concrete product may be the answer. Utilizing Reiss Viking heavy weight aggregate products, these precast items can be used for heavier finished products that offer additional value due to their increased weight, without changing project/product dimensions. Applications may include road barriers, panel sections, counterweight blocks, waterway earth barriers and retaining walls in high erosion areas.
Precast heavy weight concrete blocks, barriers, and walls are also utilized in projects requiring radiation shielding/protection from X-rays and gamma radiation. Different projects could call for their use in a temporary/portable construction system or a permanent system using a heavy density mortar. Reiss Viking has delivery and packaging options available to meet your project needs.
Reiss Viking heavy weight aggregate when utilized in a precast mix design will allow unit weights ranging from the standard 140 lbs/ft3 up upward to 300 lbs/ft3. This modified design feature allows for a physically smaller product or a heavier product occupying the same physical volume. Applications ranging from residential to commercial projects of all types are possible. In today's world, innovation and specialization is important. With regard to precast products, the ability to produce varying concrete weights with the same volume is often an important product option.
