With cold temps and snow in our near future, please be mindful of maintaining the integrity of the this year's concrete projects. This includes removing snow on a regular basis and avoiding the use of salt and chemical de-icing agents.
Here's a message from the contractor for the concrete projects completed by the City of Michigan City this year:
“Rieth-Riley Construction Co., Inc. would like to caution you that salt and other chemical de-icing agents tend to cause damage to concrete surfaces that are less than one year old. This damage can include spalling, pop-outs and similar issues. Because of this fact, we strongly recommend that no salt or chemical de-icing agents be used, or at least very sparingly, during the 2024-2025 winter season. Rieth-Riley cannot be held responsible for the use/over-use of salt and chemical de-icers on concrete.”
We appreciate your cooperation.
