  • Concrete finishing machine
    Patent number: 8083510
    Abstract: A machine for imprinting patterns onto uncured concrete in an elongated bed includes a frame for positioning the finishing machine over the bed. A lower patterning unit suspended from the frame is movable backward and forward of the concrete bed and a press assembly moves the pattern in and out of contact with uncured concrete on the elongated bed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2011
    Assignee: Fabcon, Inc.
    Inventors: Jason Hensley, Thomas Kuckhahn, Michael LeJeune, Richard Wesen, Gregory Morford, Patrick Heman, Mark Yzermans, David Henderson
  • Automated concrete casting system
    Patent number: 7806676
    Abstract: A system for automating the casting of concrete panels in which a bed position indicator is fed to a program which compares the bed position to CAD drawings concerning the concrete to be cast and sends the drawing detail for the position of the bed which is then shown on the bed by a laser.
    Type: Grant

  • Segmented concrete screed
    Patent number: 7198429
    Abstract: A segmented concrete screed for screeding concrete on a concrete casting bed includes a plurality of individual screed units each of which may be raised and lowered independently of the others such that screeding operations may selectively bypass obstructions in the concrete to be screeded.

  • Insulated concrete cast panels with voids in billits
    Patent number: 6955014
    Abstract: A method for casting hollow core concrete panels includes the use of raft connectors to hold a plurality of spaced foam billets in place during the manufacture to create panel or plank with spaced foam-filled cores. The panels include billets that form longitudinal voids that allows utilities to be run through the lengths of the concrete panels.
