🚗 Crowley Reinforcement & Strength Systems

Advanced Reinforcement Technologies

Crowley’s growing community requires extra-strength concrete driveways built to last:

Steel Reinforcement Systems:

Rebar Grid Installation: #4 bars spaced 18″ on center both directions
Continuous Reinforcement: Lap joints extending 40 bar diameters minimum
Chair Systems: Maintaining 3″ concrete cover over reinforcement
Tie Wire Securing: All intersections properly tied preventing displacement

Fiber Reinforcement Options:

Polypropylene Fibers: 1.5 lbs per cubic yard reducing plastic shrinkage cracks
Steel Fibers: Hooked-end fibers increasing impact resistance
Synthetic Macro Fibers: Replacing welded wire mesh in some applications
Glass Fibers: For specialized decorative applications requiring crack control
