December 20, 2007 - WYOMING, RI. VIBCO Vibrators provided external vibrators for a concrete bridge repair project where internal vibrators could not be used effectively due to the amount and configuration of rebar.
VIBCO Vibrators application engineers received an urgent call from an equipment distributor whose customer had encountered a problem on a concrete bridge repair job. The customer was preparing to pour concrete and realized that internal concrete vibrators were not going to be able to effectively consolidate the concrete due to the amount and configuration of rebar.

The vibrators were in stock and shipped directly to the jobsite via next-day delivery. The result was an efficiently completed, on schedule, on budget concrete pour with excellent consolidation and finish.
