Hi, I’m Chad Norman, CEO of CS Systems, Inc., the company behind Concrete Snakes, a next-generation slab support solution that makes concrete reinforcement faster, easier, and more reliable.

At CS Systems, we focus on practical innovation that supports real-world jobsite needs. Concrete Snakes are engineered for strength, flexibility, and simplicity, allowing contractors to place reinforcement efficiently while maintaining consistent performance across residential and commercial projects.

I am proud of the team behind CS Systems and our commitment to continuous improvement. Our goal is to provide dependable solutions that help professionals work smarter, save time, and build with confidence.

Concrete Snakes – Concrete Reinforcement Systems

CS Systems, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer and distributor of innovative concrete reinforcement solutions engineered to simplify installation while improving slab integrity. Through our flagship product line, Concrete Snakes, we design and manufacture state-of-the-art reinforcement supports that replace outdated methods with faster, safer, and more efficient systems. Every product is built with precision manufacturing standards and distributed through reliable supply channels to ensure consistent availability for contractors, builders, and concrete professionals nationwide.

Our manufacturing process is driven by patented engineering, durability testing, and real-world jobsite feedback. Each Concrete Snake is produced to deliver uniform performance, flexibility, and strength across residential and commercial applications. As a distribution-focused company, CS Systems ensures dependable supply, streamlined logistics, and scalable availability so our customers can move projects forward without delays.

Flexibility That Builds Strength.

Drop and Go. Ridiculously easy to place. State-of-the-art, patent design that anticipates every need. In a word, easier.

Speed That Saves You Time and Money

With Concrete Snakes, installation is simple and efficient. Each flexible three-foot length replaces multiple standard chairs, dramatically reducing placement time and simplifying workflow. Spending less time on positioning supports means more time focused on completing the pour accurately and on schedule.

Efficiency That Boosts Productivity

Concrete Snakes feature a patented design with 36 tie-down points, providing unmatched versatility for securing rebar, welded wire fabric, rods, and more. Continuous support ensures consistent rebar elevation while minimizing movement during the pour. The result is fewer adjustments, reduced rework, and a cleaner, more reliable finish.

Ease of Installation That Safely Cuts Labor Costs

Lightweight and easy to handle, Concrete Snakes turn installation into a one-person task. There is no heavy lifting or complex positioning. Simply roll out, tie down, and move on. Users bend over approximately two-thirds less compared to standard chairs, reducing physical strain and lowering the risk of jobsite back injuries.

Flexibility for Every Project

Concrete Snakes adapt to virtually any layout. Sections can intersect with any radius, form corners, create full 360-degree round supports for light post bases, or shape precise square configurations. This flexibility makes them ideal for both straightforward pours and complex reinforcement designs.
