NEW: FS-2K Fire Retardant Coating Protects Wood Utility Poles Against Wildfire Damage
Wild fires pose a significant threat to everything in their path, including wood utility poles.
Imagine if wood utility poles could withstand the intense heat of a brush or wild fire and retain structural integrity?
FS-2K was designed to protect and preserve wood utility poles from wild fires, allowing them to remain in service after the fire exposure has passed.
In this video Doug Reeves, founder of GRA Services demonstrates how to apply FS-2K to wood utility poles. Doug also performs a fire test on both an untreated utility pole and also on a utility pole coated in FS-2K. In testing, each pole was subjected to intense heat exceeding 1000℉ for 30 minutes.
The pole coated with FS-2K had no damage while the untreated pole had significant burn damage at ground level and several feet above ground level.
Any utility company with distribution systems in fire prone areas should consider using FS-2K to protect their valuable utility pole assets.

Secure Set Spray Foam - Use to Backfill Inaccessible Voids and Lift Concrete
Weather and other factors can cause voids to develop under concrete structures like transformer pads, manholes, sidewalks, driveways and more. Instead of excavating the void and replacing the concrete, Secure Set Spray Foam can be used to backfill the void easily, without excavation. This 8-Minute video demonstrates how Secure Set Spray Foam works and how to properly backfill a void.
In this 18-Minute video we use Secure Set Spray Foam to fill a large void under a concrete slab. 45 minutes after completing the job, we drive an 11,000 pound truck onto the concrete slab with zero change in the level of the slab.
The expansive nature of Secure Set Spray Foam enables to to not only fill a void but also lift sunken surfaces. In this video, Secure Set Spray Foam is used to lift a concrete slab in a barn. There's no need for heavy injection equipment, it can all be accomplished by a single person with a drill and our product. This 12-minute video shows you how to do it yourself.
