7. Historic Data
7.1
Date when was the first time your PVC sheet pile product marketed and then
installed.
C-LOC was first marketed by C-LOC Retention Systems out of Utica, MI in 1985. The
inventor was Larry Berger. C-LOC was first manufactured by Minton Plastics, located in
Canada. Crane Plastics began manufacturing C-LOC in 1988. Crane bought the rights from
Berger in 1996.
7.2
Have you changed the raw materials, composition including additives,
manufacturing process since the start time. If so, please comment on the changes.
No, the process or raw material has not changed.
7.3
Can you share the installation data of at least three of your old vinyl sheet piles
installations. If yes, please give the following:
Since Crane was not involved with the marketing or selling of the product for the first 11 years
of the products existence, we are unaware of the name and location of the majority of
installations. Most were on lakes and the St. Clair River in Michigan. One very large project in
the mid 80's was Point Fuchon, in Houma, Louisiana. It was originally the C-LOC CL-1250,
which has been discontinued. In the late 90's, CL-4500 was installed in the development. The
developer of the site was Albert Bankston, 985-396-2241 or 985-396-8046.
