Removing the "Mess Factor"

To a homeowner, appearance is everything. And when it comes to big projects, the appearance of your home can change drastically.

Retaining walls can be a messy project. If you factor in the amount of forming material, rebar, concrete and other materials that it takes to build a retaining wall, and especially if you want a higher quality product like solid concrete in your backyard, the project can take up a lot of space and cause damage to the surrounding area.

This can lead to a big mess as that equipment can take over your yard and turn it into a construction site that oftentimes the homeowner has to deal with at the end of the day.

With RediPour, that mess is never created. Thanks to the innovative and patented RediPour system, our walls can be set in place and installed without leaving materials all over your property.

Currently, we are installing an 8-foot high wall in Southwest Portland. In a few short hours, the walls were taken off of our trucks and set in place. There was no need to store forming materials that take up space, which also eliminated the need for those materials to be stripped and shipped to a landfill afterward. This process leaves the homeowner happy and with one less headache to deal with as the project progresses.
Take a look at the photos below and see how tidy RediPour keeps your property in the midst of a big project.

Tuesday 8:00 AM - Trucks arrive to deliver walls and material to the site

Tuesday 10:30 AM - Walls begin to be set in place. By 5:00 PM the walls are in place

Wednesday 5:00 PM - After setting the walls on Tuesday, the crew returned Wednesday to level and brace the wall

Wednesday 5:00 PM - Within a few short hours the 8-foot high wall is ready for inspection with no mess left behind

Pour, Pour, Pour

Recently, we showed you the beginning stages of a front entrance patio RediPour is installing in Damascus, OR. The process is now near completion after the patio floor and the stairs were poured this week. 

The patio is made up of two separate RediPour retaining walls with stairs running along the wall and leading up to the front door. The patio floor is stamped out to give it a more natural look. The stairs, like the walls, were manufactured using RediPour technology. 

As you can see in the photos below, the RediPour crew installed and poured each wall in a day. What was once nothing but dirt and debris is now a modern patio that will add value and a beautiful look to the home. Below you will see a realistic view of the project that was created with information gathered by our robot and visualized by our designers. Compare that view with the photos below to see how the project goes from a computer design into a real-life wall.

Scanner Technology

Have you ever wondered how unique a bar code is?

When you go to the grocery store to purchase groceries, they scan your items using the bar code. This not only keeps track of what you bought on your receipt, but it also provides information on price, sales, and inventory. And despite looking similar, each bar code is unique, similar to your fingerprints.

But, did you know your property also has a bar code? Before now, the "scanner" for that bar code was a contractor who would use a tape measure (at best, a laser) to take measurements to manually collect elevations for your project. That allowed for a wide margin of human error that would greatly affect the outcome of your project.

Until now.

RediPour has already drastically changed the game after introducing a Robotic Laser to collect your property's bar code. This technology allowed RediPour to reduce the amount of hours spent at the site collecting data, and provided more accurate information, including water runoff data and the ability to spot potential trouble areas before they become a problem.

In an effort to improve that process further, RediPour is getting ready to introduce technology that takes the data collection of your property/project to the highest level with a Scanner.

How does this benefit you?

When a contractor collects info on your project, they collect only length and width of your property and collect 20-30 elevations to follow. They don't identify exact points, known as Northings and Eastings, which are the exact north and east points that are totally unqiue to your property. No other property in the world has that exact point, and said point has a specific elevation tied to it.

What makes this important is that when you are planning your project, you want the plan to fit exactly so that there is no margin for error. That could mean the difference between having your dream project fulfilled quickly and easily or spending thousands of dollars down the line on repairs or design changes that could still result in a disappointing product for you.

Go to a grocery store and examine a bar code. The standard one has 31 lines, which is used to accurately reflect the information about what your buying when it is scanned. Now, imagine having that same process done to your entire property with high accuracy. That's what you'll get with RediPour's new Scanner technology.
