Subject: Debris Netting at Work
Hello
Howard,
If you recall, I spoke to you almost two months ago regarding
the netting system that I purchased for a project in Puerto
Rico...
Well I'm just writing to let you know how your netting system
is working. Enclosed are some photographs of the net with
concrete on it. What happened was that a form opened during
a pour and about 12 cubic feet of concrete slipped through
the opening on the form. Luckily the investement for the
net paid off, since it caught most, if not all, of the concrete.
Were it not for the netting system, there would have
probably been more than 10 vehicles that would have sustained
major damage (concrete would have fallen more than
100 feet down to the street) as well as pedestrian in the
area. Thanks to Incord we didn't have that problem.
By my estimates there was more than 1800 pounds of concrete
on the net, and it held pretty well with no problem. There
was only very minor damages on the net that occured when
we tried to remove the concrete from the debris netting
since it had cured overnight adhering to the net.
From where the form opened to where the net was placed was
about 23 feet vertical drop.
Well, I just wanted to thank you for providing this system.
Thanks again
