CDMI offers preformed ballast block for each of the Lite-Site™ foundation sizes.
CDMI’s Ballast blocks simply set in place into the steel Lite-Site™ foundation. Once the ballast blocks are set in the foundation, they create a level surface area to mount equipment, H Frames, Ice Bridge, etc. There are no specialized tools or pre-tensioning requirements to install the ballast. All ballast blocks meet or exceed a 4,000 psi minimum concrete strength. CDMI sources pre-formed concrete ballast from our local precast partner and they have been supplying CDMI with precision blocks since 2008. CDMI can work with precast vendors local to your site to source ballast.
