As a leader in technical service, Essroc developed the i.check app to provide a resource for engineers, architects, producers and contractors to identify and improve basic defects. The i.check app is free and available for iOS, Android and Windows phones and tablets. It can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, Google Play and the Windows App Store by searching for “i.check.”
