Product Summary
The foundation design of choice for architects and engineers, Johnson Concrete's concrete masonry units (CMU) provide unmatched compressive strength for supporting your most precious assets. We manufacture concrete blocks in shapes ideal for forming concrete slabs or building large crawlspaces and full basements. Our standard BuilderLite blocks are higher strength and lighter weight than your box store variety and can be installed more quickly with reduced risk of injury.
Johnson Concrete Products has been producing Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) in Salisbury, NC since 1947 for both commercial and residential applications.
Construction and Materials
Johnson Concrete offers a range of durable and reliable masonry and concrete products, specifically focusing on Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs) and Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). These products are engineered for longevity and structural integrity in various construction applications.
Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs)
- Construction: CMUs, commonly known as concrete blocks, are manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure consistent quality and performance. They are typically hollow or have solid cores, which can be filled with grout or reinforcement for enhanced strength. The precise dimensions and uniform shapes allow for efficient and accurate construction.
- Materials: The primary material used in the construction of CMUs is a specialized concrete mix. This mix consists of:
- Portland cement
- Aggregates, such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone
- Water
Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP)
- Construction: RCP is manufactured by combining concrete with steel reinforcement. The concrete encases a cage of steel reinforcing bars (rebar) or wire mesh, providing tensile strength to complement the concrete's compressive strength. This combination creates a robust pipe capable of withstanding significant external loads and internal pressures, making it ideal for underground infrastructure. The pipes are typically manufactured in cylindrical sections with bell-and-spigot or tongue-and-groove joints for secure connections.
- Materials: The materials used for RCP are:
- High-strength concrete mix: Composed of Portland cement, carefully selected aggregates (sand and gravel), and water. This concrete formulation is designed for high durability and resistance to abrasion and chemical attack.
- Steel reinforcement: Primarily consists of steel bars (rebar) or welded wire fabric, strategically placed within the concrete formwork before the concrete is cast. The steel provides the necessary tensile reinforcement to handle bending stresses and prevent cracking.
