Utility Service Agency is the proud rep of BMK. One of their products that brings a lot of value to the field is Polecrete Stabilizer. Polecrete is a fast, effective polyurethane backfill solution that sets in as little as 15 minutes. The feedback we get most often is that a given utility is happy with their current backfill and tamp method and they want to know the benefit of switching to foam for setting poles.
Utilityproducts.com recently outlined everything you need to know about the benefits of using foam here.
Here’s the conclusion drawn by UtilityProducts.com:
“Polyurethane foam offers many unique and superior characteristics compared to conventional backfill methods.
• It’s faster than tamping, saving valuable time and getting utility crews on to the next job faster.
• It’s easier on utility workers, helping to minimize fatigue and prevent injuries.
• It provides a stronger foundation that will hold up better to high winds and weather.
At the end of the day, if you’re still tamping, it’s time to consider polyurethane foam backfill.”
