A large general contractor in the New York City area, had used a standard Zim-Mixer on several projects through the years. Having experienced the technology and support that Zimmerman offers, they approached us about building a machine to work on a project with underwater concrete placement. The unit had to be configured to mount onto a barge, and with the ability to load the materials. The machine needed to produce several types of product, each with specific mix designs and performance criteria. This custom unit was built and delivered on schedule with training and calibration done on site. Once the machine was set, each material was produced and tested by NYDOT and independent labs, with all specifications being met.
An existing customer requested a unit that had to be skid mounted, and meet strict space requirements. The mixer was to be loaded onto a standard flatcar when needed, and used to place a rapid setting material inside tunnels. This mixer needed to have 2 separate, sealed bins that could be used together or individually and had to have the capability of being operated from the deck of the flatcar or remotely to ensure operator safety. The contract also called for an extensive training program to be developed specifically to their machine, and needed to be written and submitted for approval, and delivered to each group that may need to utilize the unit. Zimmerman designed, built and delivered the unit on schedule and to the custom specifications. All provisions of the contract were met, and several training sessions were held with each shift of each department.
