SPARKS, NV – The high desert region of Northern Nevada is notorious for climate extremes. The low humidity, unpredictable winds, and broad temperature range has resulted in difficult concrete placements for decades. Current curing methods produce poor slab quality and performance, resulting in costly concrete defects such as cracking, crazing and slab curl. These avoidable defects have become the norm and are expected and accepted results. Furthermore, all quality and performance defects must be repaired prior to flooring installation, slowing project schedule, and increasing project costs.
On this project Q&D Construction was looking for a way to lower overall costs of construction while improving the quality of the concrete placement and finish. Relying on a successful history using SINAK products on other high-profile projects such as the Tesla Gigafactory, Q&D turned to SINAK for the Veterans Home. SINAK products are specifically engineered and developed for simple application, eliminating the need for certified applicators, specialized training, or onsite manufacturers supervision. Additionally, SINAK’s best in class 20-year comprehensive warranty comes standard with any application of SINAK VC-5, protecting all project stakeholders from any flooring failures. This warranty is effective day of application, and the term begins at the date of substantial application ensuring both the general contractor and owner are indemnified.
After the initial application of VC-5, Q&D noted that there were no cracks or slab curl throughout all 100,000 square feet (about the area of a Manhattan city block). VC-5’s ability to control both the rate and duration of cure as well as the rate of drying ensured the highest quality concrete possible.
No longer do you have to plan for and accept curled and cracked concrete as the norm on your projects. This project is just another testament to the 40 plus years of SINAK’s devotion in producing flatter, cleaner concrete slabs and joins hundreds of millions of square feet in other projects, becoming the new standard of product performance.
