Bashaw Concrete manufactures two sizes of concrete blocks. Large blocks are 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft x5 ft and weigh approximately 4200 lbs. Small blocks are 20 inch x 20 inch x 40 inch and weigh approximately 1200 lbs. All blocks are made of returned/recycled concrete keeping excessive used concrete from filling our local landfills. If a block is made with a multiple pour, the joints are reinforced with steel.
All our blocks use ½ inch multi-strand cable for lift loops. Rebar is NEVER used. Bashaw concrete only uses multi-strand cable for lift loops. Our lifting cable has a breaking strength of over 40,000 lbs.
