Cable Concrete\u00ae, a signature innovation<\/h2>\n

Crafted as a versatile alternative to loose rock rip rap, Cable Concrete\u00ae stands out as an Articulating Concrete Block (ACB) system interlinked by cables, allowing each block to flex and adapt to the natural terrain. With six available thickness options, this interconnected block system ensures economical stability tailored to the unique requirements of each project.<\/p>\n

Extensively tested by engineering departments at four distinguished universities\u2014; The University of Colorado; and The University of Minnesota; The University of Windsor, Ontario; & The University of Western Ontario, Ontario. As well as full scale testing at various industry leading research facilities. \u2014Cable Concrete\u00ae has proven its reliability and efficacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>
