| Temporary Work Covers - Temporary work covers can be installed on your jobsite, and because of the way they have been designed they can quickly be deployed at a moment's notice. Typical uses for it would be when concrete that is still being finished is threatened by rain, or when a building or roof is opened and needs to be protected from rain, or just the outside elements. When you build your temporary cover using Symmloc Fasteners not only will it go up quickly, but it will stay where you put it. If you keep (24) Symmloc Fasteners on your crew's truck it can be used with a 20' x 100' roll of visqueen to build a cover of the same size, but since it is modular you can make it as large or small as you need it to be. (24) Symmloc Fasteners only weigh 12 lb compared to one sandbag that weighs 35 lb . This is why the Symmloc can easily be carried as a valuable tool on your truck, and can be put together and taken apart in minutes. When you're finished just store it for the next time when it's needed. | |
| Temporary Walls - With the Symmloc Fastener you can quickly build and install custom temporary visqueen or fabric walls. Any type of shape can quickly be built by your crew, and when finished it can just as easily be removed and stored for the next use. The Symmloc Fastener can fastened to any surface you need by using the large hole located at the center or the two small holes that provide a location for screws, including Tapcon screws, so it can be installed on hard surfaces like concrete, or wood with wood screws, and it only takes about 1 minute per fastener. Symmloc Fastener is reusable and is suitable in most corrosive environments. | |
| Stockpile Erosion Protection - The Symmloc Fastener provides a more effective, and superior way of covering your stockpiles, and protecting them from soil erosion in rain events, or dust control in the summer months. The Symmloc Fastener offers several advantages over the traditional sandbag and buried edge technique that is currently being used. You will no longer need to worry about the logistics of transporting heavy sandbags to your site, and then getting to an area that can be wet, and or steep making it even more difficult to accomplish. The Symmloc Fastener only weighs 8 oz and installs in as little as 15-30 seconds. Think about the time savings that you will have installing a 8 oz Symmloc Fastener in 15-30 seconds, that can hold 75 + lb, as opposed to installing a 35 sandbag that can only lay on the material that it is holding. This is based on it being used with 6 mil plastic visqueen, if you use thicker material or geotextile the holding ability will increase accordingly. You will no longer need to dig a trench around your stockpile to help hold your cover in place. Now you can use the same Symmloc Fastener at the base or top of your pile because it provides you a way of using a stake or other device to hold the outer edge of your cover in place. This means you won't need to dig a trench by hand, or need a piece of equipment to do it. For this same reason you wont need the labor to remove it later, when you're finished. You will no longer need to worry about keeping your cover in place when the next wind and or rain storm hits. The superior ability of the Symmloc Fastener to hold your cover in place compared to sandbags will forever change the way you spend your money on labor and materials, and will greatly reduce, if not eliminate your cost of maintaining your covers. When you want to add or remove material from your stockpile, you will appreciate how easy it is to modify your cover when you are using the Symmloc system. When you have finished removing your stockpile your Symmloc Fasteners can be quickly removed for easy storage, and to be used on the next job. This is why in the long run and only after a few uses you will find that you will be saving money on your cost of covering your stockpiles, because you can use the Symmloc over and overagain as opposed to sand bags that are good for one use and then need to be disposed of. | |
| Concrete Moisture Conditioning - You can use the Symmloc fastener for moisture conditioning newly poured concrete, instead of moving heavy sand bags or boards to hold down your tarps or plastic covers; you can use the Symmloc fastener to provide a secure way of holding them in place, until you are ready to remove them. | |
| Hillside Protection - The Symmloc Fastener can be used to protect exposed and non-vegetated slopes and hillsides to keep them from becoming saturated. The Symmloc Fastener is the most effective product on the market that allows you to create endless configurations of temporary covers that will stay in place until you want them removed. The Symmloc fastener can also be used easily and effectively with various types of materials and thickness, unlike other fasteners that are very limited in the thickness and types of materials that can be used. Because the Symmloc Fastener is light 8 oz to be exact, your installation crew will be able to install hundreds in one shift, and since they actually grip the material once they are installed they will stay there. Another benefit to the Symmloc Fastener compared to sand bags is that you're not relying on gravity and the weight of the sand bags to keep your cover in place. When sand bags are used on a hillside it requires a reinforced staking system to support the weight of the sand bags to keep them in place. Another problem with sand bags is the steeper the slope becomes, the less effective the sand bags are at holding the cover in place. The Symmloc Fastener relies completely on its griping ability so the whole system is lighter, and far more effective no matter how steep the slope is, this also why it is so much easier to deploy and retrieve when necessary, because it weighs a fraction of what sand bags do. Since the Symmloc Fastener works by griping the material and is independent from the other fasteners if one is damaged or fails, the rest of the system can maintain its integrity. |
