The Accu-Rise System allowed us to begin installation within hours of the final asphalt paving process. We found the expedited installation time and tremendous labor saving along with the quality of the final product to be second to none versus the conventional method.

In my opinion, I believe the Accu-Rise System is the wave of the future and highly recommend it for new road construction as well as replacement of existing structures.

Since placing the valve box systems on the Wright Street project, we've noticed a definite improvement in ride performance. When you drive over them, you don't even notice that they're there. From the beginning there was absolutely zero rattling noise of the top of the casting from traffic. In recent reconstruction projects, we’ve had problems using the old style cast iron valve boxes; the old style caps get pulled out of the casting by traffic. We also get constant complaints of noisy tops which require many man hours to correct. With your system, there have been no such problems to date.

We used the Accu-Rise VBS in one of our big jobs and it was less time for the grader and the paver. Both operators save time because there is no need to stop and move the equipment around the water boxes.

The system provides a far superior installation process and all the compaction is there. You can grade and pave right over the water boxes. You don’t end up with sinking or holes around the water boxes. The installation is simple, easy and saves money. Basically, you can decrease paving time by about 25%.

Cities are going to save money when they spec the Accu-Rise VBS because their contractors will save money. And there will be less maintenance and repair cost because they won’t have bumps or sinking around the boxes.

Damage to cast iron catch basin backs from winter plowing and snow removal operations was becoming very costly. The City of Marquette was looking for a way to prevent damage and reduce cost, so in 1997, Argonics installed seven polyurethane catch basin backs. These curb boxes were placed in areas where replacement of the cast iron backs was an annual occurrence. These original polyurethane backs are still in place and have never needed repair or replacement.

Marquette, MI now has hundreds of polyurethane catch basin backs installed city wide. There has been negligible damage on a couple of them due to the underbody of a plow tearing a corner, but the polyurethane basin snapped back into place without breaking or deforming. Our cost savings have been huge, even with the slightly higher initial expense, because of the significantly less seasonal labor and replacement equipment costs. Argonics remains very proactive in helping the City find solutions to a variety of other needs where polyurethane has proven to be better than iron.

Argonics' urethane salt spinners have already lasted over three times longer than the metal ones and are showing very little wear.

The City of Marquette is extremely satisfied with Argonics' products. We worked with Argonics to develop a long lasting economical spinner for our six (6) front line plow sanders. Since we switched to Argonics' new design spinner we have only replaced one in the past 10 years. Before that, we had to replace metal spinners every year. This is a significant cost savings to the City of Marquette not only in product, but in labor cost. The Argonics sand spinner is sturdy, serviceable and unobtrusive when installed, and surprisingly affordable. We're glad they developed such a quality product.
