Polyurethane Accu-Rise Valve Box System saves municipalities and road building contractors thousands of dollars in paving and up to 80% in maintenance and repair.
Gwinn Mich. – Argonics, Inc. one of the world's largest producers of castable polyurethane elastomers serving the construction market, announces the new Accu-Rise Valve Box System (VBS). The Accu-Rise VBS (patent pending) delivers a revolutionary product and process to the road paving industry, solving a perennial paving problem of achieving maximum compaction around utility access locations.
According to Dave Puskala, Chief Operating Officer for Argonics, "Utilities accesses, especially valve box systems, are a chief consideration and constraint in efficient paving and road building. Matching a utility valve box access casting elevation to the finished elevation of the HMA is a major challenge. Contractors face significant work and expense to achieve proper valve box positioning, soil compaction and road surface finishing. The current multi-step process adds time and cost to every public works job. Accu-Rise VBS solves this problem." »
