Coastal Construction Products showcases innovation in bridge and
roadway repair at Design Conference 2008
Jacksonville, Fla. – July 9, 2008 – Coastal Construction Products, Florida’s largest independent
distributor of waterproofing, concrete repair, caulking/sealant, and fire protection products, will
showcase several innovative initiatives at The Design Conference 2008 in Orlando, this July (booth 47).
They include:
A new rapid setting Florida QPL (Qualified Product List) mortar that sets stronger and faster than
previously available products
A unique QPL silicone and epoxy nosing system for joint seals
A full line of QPL silicone sealants
A range of QPL application-specific solutions, such as an innovative anti-graffiti coating
“We provide innovative solutions and a level of service that contractors cannot find with other
construction product providers,” said Dan Appelo, Coastal Construction Products’ Public Works
Manager. “When a contractor comes to us with an issue, we work closely with them to select and use
the best possible solutions.”
To accomplish this unique level of service, Coastal Construction Products gives customers access to a
highly-trained team of professionals ready to consult and support bridge and roadway projects.
“If a customer starts a job at 2 a.m. on a Monday morning, our team will be onsite ready to train workers
about the different products they are using and to provide valuable consultation support,” Appelo
explained. “We don’t charge the customer for this service. Our goals are to ensure that the customer
gains maximum value and that they use the products in the best method possible for the specific job.
Each of our team members has decades of hands-on experience with the equipment and products
used in bridge and roadway repair.”
This extra layer of service offers customers the assurance they need to ensure jobs start efficiently and
are finished using the best possible methods and materials.
The Design Conference draws more than 1,500 attendees, including transportation engineers and
representatives from state, federal, and local governments, as well as the consultant community.
The conference will take place July 28-30, 2008, in Orlando, Fla., at the Rosen Centre.
Coastal Construction Products prides itself in suggesting appropriate specifications for building
owners, architects, and engineers. Coastal creates synergy between the large manufacturer, the
quality contractor, and the specifying groups, with the primary goal being to keep the building
owner’s best interest at the forefront. To learn more, visit Coastal at booth 47 or www.coastal-
