Dynamic Concrete Wins the ACI Award of Excellence

Congratulations to Dynamic Concrete, recipient of the Award of Excellence in Concrete in the Advanced Concrete Construction category. This award is granted by the American Concrete Institute (ACI), Alberta Chapter. The award recognized the team’s accomplishments in installing, placing and finishing the Gregg’s Distribution, Edmonton, Alberta distribution warehouse floor consisting of 575,000 square feet of joint-free hightolerance concrete flooring. This joint-free floor slab is delimited by armored construction joints called double Omega joints, which provide optimum load transfer and excellent concrete edge protection, making this entire slab basically maintenance-free for its user. The Freeplan joint-free floor slab concept eliminates saw-cut joints, reducing long-term maintenance costs and optimizing mechanical handling equipment efficiency.

Tom Weston, the Calgary branch manager, accepted this prestigious award on behalf of the Dynamic employees, who successfully met the challenges and exceeded the high flatness specifications of this project. The team had to meet extremely high flatness tolerances and use unconventional pour rates and installation techniques to accommodate the aggressive project schedule and deliver a finished floor above specifications. Dynamic Concrete president Joe Delehay stated, “These types of projects always test your abilities and once again we were able to exceed our client’s specifications and expectations. It’s accomplishments like this that make me proud of my employees and our company. It’s great to be recognized with an award as the industry leader for providing high quality superflat floors.”
