Case 104
Iowa Select Farms avoids environment problems at its hog production sites.

Product:PERMA-SEAL® FLEXIBLE RESIN
Client:Iowa Select Farms
Treatment Date:September,1995
Outcome:No leakage since treatment

Iowa Select Farms is one of the state's bigger hog producers. It operates a number of sites in the Iowa Falls area. Each site has an average of ten barns and each barn holds about 1400 hogs. The floors of these barns consists of grating over pits about two feet (two-thirds of a metre) deep, where the hog waste collects. When cracks started to appear in the concrete pits, Iowa Select didn't want an environmental pollution problem on their hands.

They called PERMA-DRY® dealer Larry Wamsher in nearby Des Moines, who recommended the crack repair process be carried out using PERMA-DRY®'s THERMO-JET™ technology and PERMA-SEAL®, a specially-formulated repair material that is pressure-injected to ensure penetration through the entire wall, from bottom to top, from the inside out. PERMA-SEAL® fills the crack and all capillaries, thermally fusing to the concrete.

    "I've done about 90 feet (30 metres) of crack injection for them," Larry says. "I've been up there three or four times, but I've never been called back to any job I'd already done. The secret is to follow every step in the process and you never have a problem. The client was so impressed with the PERMA-DRY® treatment that he bought a distributorship."

Larry Wamsher has been a PERMA-DRY® dealer for five years and before that the trained with another dealer in the application of PERMA-DRY® products for two years.
