Benjamin Franklin is noted for the phrase Time is Money. How he expressed the phrase is even more apropos.
“Remember that time is money. He that can earn ten shillings a day by his labour, and goes abroad, or sits idle one half of that day, though he spends but sixpence during his diversion or idleness, it ought not to be reckoned the only expence; he hath really spent or thrown away five shillings besides.”
We at Bal-Last™ Interlocking Ballast Systems believe that your time is valuable too! We appreciate the fact that you are reading this blog and considering the use of the Bal-Last™ Interlocking Ballast System. When you look at the cost to order a minimum load of concrete and then have to wait for the delivery like these chaps, it is easy to see that the costs can add up. When you look at the minimum load cost by itself, the Bal-Last™ system comes out ahead in cost. To add insult to injury, consider the image above.
Making your own forms and mixing and pouring concrete does not do much better. Yes the crew has less time to play cards or sit back waiting for concrete, but they could easily be doing something else more productive.
The Bal-Last™ Interlocking Ballast system installs in less than 10 minutes and is a complete ballast solution for your grinder pump installation. Assembly is immediate and you can backfill the station immediately as well. Yes, more time saved! Imaging what you can be doing not having to wait for concrete to harden so you can backfill your pump chamber. Or better still, you don’t have to maintain dewatering pumps while concrete cures.
