Essroc, part of the Italcementi group, has launched a new mobile app, i.check, that provides photographs of common issues in concrete and masonry applications. Each photo is accompanied with a listing of potential causes and corrective actions to alleviate the problem.
“The app visually demonstrates various concrete and masonry issues and provides technical instructions on how to resolve the concern,” explains Dan Schaffer, Essroc’s Senior Director, Marketing and Technical Services. “The app is a compilation of Essroc’s long-time commitment toward education and technical support of the cement, concrete and masonry markets.”
The app is free and available for iOS, Android and Windows phones and tables.
