Ocean Concrete Products Limited's Keystone Retaining Wall Units Passes Freeze-Thaw Test

retaining wallOcean Concrete Products Limited (Lehigh Northwest Cement Limited) is pleased to announce that the Keystone Retaining Wall units manufactured in its Surrey BC Block Plant have met the requirements for Freeze-Thaw durability as outlined in ASTM C 1372-97 Standard Specification for Segmental Retaining Wall Units.

"This is quite an achievement", says Tony Barone, Manager of Masonry and Retaining Walls, "because many manufacturers of retaining wall units have not been able to pass the Freeze-Thaw test in ASTM C 1372. Now we will be able to sell into the demanding Alaska market."

When asked just how Ocean Concrete Products was able to pass the difficult ASTM C 1372 Freeze-Thaw test, Tony replied that it was starting with quality raw materials, using well maintained equipment run by experienced machine operators, and keeping a tight control over the production process by performing monthly quality control tests in the Ocean's in-house lab.

Ocean Concrete Products Limited markets Keystone Retaining Wall units in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.
