Obialero Concrete Solutions has been using Gates since 1971. For Jimmy, the Cam-Lock System’s flexibility means being able to tackle just about anything the architects throw his way, from tricky corners to radius work.

Thanks, Jimmy, for sharing your story and for 55 years of putting Gates to work!

Almost a city block of #9, an elevator core, and some Lock-Fast Column Clamp to boot!
Concrete Frame Associates are checking a lot of boxes on this job site in the RINO district in Denver.

A few photos from a Gates product knowledge class, and a few words from our trainer, Don Valdez, about why he loves teaching them:

“People ask all the time ‘Do you like your job?’. Actually I love my job. I get to travel all over the states and some of Canada. I meet and greet new and old customers and friends constantly. And I love teaching folks about Gates & Sons Concrete Forming Systems. I’ll admit I thrive on the high I get standing in front of 1 or 100 people, grabbing their attention, holding it and having them say to me at the end ‘Thank you. Now I know…’.”

Want Don to come teach a class for your crew? Get in touch with us and we’ll help set it up.

Concrete doing a pretty convincing impression of wood.
Obialero Concrete Solutions used the Gates Cam-Lock System with board form liners on this new stage in Evergreen, Colorado with custom extended-end ties from Gates to accommodate the liners.
Beautiful work by Jim Raeder and his crew. Thanks for sharing the project with us, we are really looking forward to the progress pics!

Have a safe and relaxing weekend!

A rare look inside the form.
StayForm by AMICO paired with custom Cam-Lock Ties by Gates gave us a clear view of the pour on a home in Boulder’s historic district this past February.
Appreciate Eric Klepper and K&D Concrete for letting us tag along and document the process.
