If you ask an engineer, they would say that a well-designed and tested concrete slab lays the foundation for high performance, fast hockey, and less maintenance. In other words, hockey wouldn’t be as great without engineers. As with any sport, the technology we use shapes the development and performance of the sport, and engineers are behind many of those advances. Next time, you watch a game of hockey, take a moment to remember all the hard work that went on behind the scenes constructing the rink, placing the concrete (and testing that concrete).
Mass placements of concrete ice rink requires experts in material testing as well as a well-equipped laboratory. The engineers and lab technicians at PRI are extremely skilled at what they do, and our geotechnical laboratory is stocked with state-of-the-art equipment to guarantee that you get the information you need to build your project with a solid foundation and certainty.
