Maureni Bournigal, Project Manager for Hormigones del Atlantico (Atlantic Concrete) approached Symons® by Dayton Superior about his concrete column forming project for the new six-hundred-room Iberostar Hotel in Playa Plata. Plans called for many square structural columns. He expressed concern about learning how to use new systems quickly, safely, and productively.

Symons proposed using Steel‑Ply for the columns and offered to visit the site to familiarize the contractor and his crew with the new equipment and procedures.
