Services
Flowable Fill
Flowable fill, also called cellular grout, provides lightweight, self-leveling solutions for geotechnical projects. It reduces soil stabilization risks and supports infrastructure like bridges and retaining walls. Our engineered fill solutions address pipeline grouting, void fills, and weight-reducing applications with precision.
LWIC Roof Decks
Lightweight insulating concrete (LWIC) roof decks offer superior R-values and fire ratings for commercial buildings. These systems create energy-efficient structures with built-in air barriers, reducing lifecycle costs while meeting strict safety standards for long-term performance.
Spray Fireproofing
Spray-applied fireproofing protects steel and concrete structures during fires, slowing temperature rise. We install cementitious and intumescent materials to meet fire-resistance ratings, ensuring compliance with safety codes across diverse construction projects.
Gypsum Underlayment
Gypsum underlayment combines plaster, cement, and sand for fire-rated floor/ceiling assemblies. It enhances sound insulation in commercial wood-framed buildings while providing durable, code-compliant solutions for acoustic and safety requirements.
Metal Deck Sales
We supply roof, form, and composite metal decking in various profiles and finishes. With warehouses in Kansas City, Houston, and Oklahoma City, we offer cut-to-length options and fast delivery for efficient project execution.
