TCM Contracting in New York putting the Gates Cam-Lock System to work and giving us close-up views along the way. Always good to see our forms out on the job. Thanks to their crew for sharing these shots!

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!

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.

We asked for dog pics, and you all delivered!
Thanks to everyone who participated, Gates & Sons will be writing a $1,000 check to Humane Colorado. And as an added bonus, we all got to see a whole lot of great dogs along the way!
Thank you to everyone who shared a photo and helped us support a great organization.
50 dogs. $1,000 raised. Not a bad way to celebrate National Dog Day!
