Patent number: 11926979Abstract: A concrete mat apparatus, including a plurality of elongated concrete members, each member being aligned with and next to another concrete member. Each of the concrete members has an upper generally flat surface, a lower generally flat surface, and a plurality of inclined surfaces that each extend away from an upper or lower surface. Reinforcement extends from a first end portion of each concrete member to a second end portion thereof, the reinforcement including a plurality of longitudinally extending reinforcement bars and a plurality of encircling tie bars at spaced apart intervals. Cabling connects each of the elongated concrete members to another of the elongated concrete members. The combination of elongated concrete members has a width and a length that is at least twice as long as the width. The upper inclined surfaces of one of the elongated concrete members forms a plane with the lower inclined surface of an adjacent elongated concrete member.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: WASKEY BRIDGES, INC.Inventors: Stephen G. Benton, Jr., Kevin Babin

Patent number: 11898340Abstract: A method of installing a trench for containing a cryogenic spill, including the step of constructing multiple precast concrete sections at a first location, each section preferably having a bottom wall and spaced apart side walls connected to and extending up from the bottom wall. Each section preferably has end portions that enable connection to another said concrete section. The method includes (at the first location) preparing multiple panels of polymeric concrete material by filling one or more molds with a slurry or liquid polymeric concrete material and after time allowing the material to cure and harden. The mold can have a cavity that is lined with a release material. At the first location, one or more of the panels can be adhered to the bottom wall and side walls of each concrete section preferably using an adhesive. After adhering of the panels to the concrete sections, the concrete sections can be transported from the first location to a second location that is remote from the first location.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: WASKEY BRIDGES, INC.Inventors: Stephen G. Benton, Jr., Benjamin Owens, Charlie Belsom, Kevin Babin, Jon Gary

Patent number: 11542700Abstract: A method of installing a trench for containing a cryogenic spill, including the step of constructing multiple precast concrete sections at a first location, each section preferably having a bottom wall and spaced apart side walls connected to and extending up from the bottom wall. Each section preferably has end portions that enable connection to another said concrete section. The method includes applying a polymeric concrete material to the bottom wall and side walls of each concrete section preferably using a spray application. The concrete sections are connected together using connections that preferably join one end portion of a concrete section to and end portion of another concrete section. An epoxy grout or non-sag seal can be preferably applied to the connections.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: WASKEY BRIDGES, INC.Inventors: Stephen G.
