Bob and Linda Lail, owners of Delong Concrete are not strangers to the concrete business and the art of bridge deck overlay using latex modified concrete. Their first bridge job was in 1970 and they discovered that bridges required a topping of latex modified concrete and as a result picked up that aspect of the work as well and completed their first bridge deck in 1973 with a Daffin Concrete mobile.

Since that time the family owned business has grown and they have added several Cemen tech units to their operation. They have also grown in numbers as they have a dozen plus employees who travel to different parts of the country providing latex modified concrete for numerous bridge decks. Their reputation has grown through the years to the point whereby established contractors in the states of Tennessee and Kentucky call them when they need bridge deck work performed.  

As Bob states, there have been many methods used for bridge decks but latex is still the one of, if not the best way of placing the final layer on the bridge. Latex modified concrete has excellent bonding characteristics and this is one reason why it is used so much.

Bob goes on to say that latex concrete is a precise business and pin point accuracy is required which is one of the reason we use Cemen Tech units. “The machine is easy to operate and I love the way it handles and cranks out the concrete”.
