Delta Industrial Uses Innovative Process to Protect the Environment

Established contractor employs unique process to build a foundation for chemical solvent farm located in a densely populated
metropolitan area.

Ferndale, MI. – Delta Industrial designed and built a foundation for a new tank farm for Gage Products Company, a global supplier of sustainable solvent manufacturing and remanufacturing systems.

Instead of using a rubber liner under the base of the tank farm, Delta’s professional engineers choose instead to use an eight percent micro silica concrete mix. This is double the rate required by the Michigan Department of Transportation to build bridge decks. The process greatly strengthened the containment wall and slab to prevent deterioration in the event of a spill or leak from the 14 large storage tanks to be located on the farm.

This exceptional process also enabled Delta to reduce construction costs and shorten the build time by several weeks. Delta also designed and built a new loading dock.

Delta Industrial, the recognized leader in machine foundations, press pits and industrial concrete construction has offices in Chesterfield Michigan, Trussville Alabama, and Fort Thomas Kentucky. The company, founded in 1993, specializes in the design and construction of machine and press foundations, concrete flat work and steel fabrication.
