Parking decks. Dams. Bridges. It's critical that these structures are built with an eye to ensuring proper strength, maintaining consistent quality, and eliminating cracks. That's where Morris and Associates comes in.
For large pours and in hot climates, accurate concrete temperature control is essential for a strong structure. As concrete cures, a natural heat is generated, known as heat of hydration. With this heat increase, the volume of the concrete increases as well. Once the concrete begins to naturally cool, the volume begins to decrease, causing cracks. By utilizing precisely controlled chilled water and/or thin, rapidly melting ice chips during the initial pour, the maximum temperature of the concrete is lowered, ultimately decreasing the temperature differential, and producing a more sound structure.
Morris offers microprocessor-controlled refrigeration systems that allow for precise temperature control during concrete batching. Water chilling systems for water-chilled batches, aggregate chilling, and post cooling are microprocessor-controlled to optimize temperatures to meet each job's requirements. Chilling systems are available in both permanent and portable configurations. Single ice making systems are sized from 10 to 150 tons per day with automatic storage bins sized from 20 to 300 tons.
