Concrete Strategies performed the foundations, flatwork and tilt-up walls for this 700,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution center. There were 302,000-square-feet of panels constructed, utilizing 8,100-cubic-yards of concrete with 100,000-square-feet of the panels cast with insulation. In order to minimize dust, achieve high abrasion resistance, self-polishing and a highly reflective surface, Concrete Strategies applied a three-quarter-inch thick dewatered topping to a 40,000-square-foot area of this facility. The topping was bond. Using the mobile concrete batch plant for the 30,000-cubic-yards concrete package, Concrete Strategies was able to accelerate construction time while reducing cost.
The one-story plant includes a 600,000-square-foot manufacturing center and 400,000-square-foot distribution center with state-of-the-art paper industry equipment. As the Cincinnati-based company’s sixth towel/tissue operations in the U.S., the paper goods facility produces Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper.
