Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

As an experienced construction professional, Mick Seaver was referring to the special mix specified for two major piers during the development of the $68 million Wantagh State Parkway Bridge over Sloop Channel. The New York-based project is under the direction of Modern Continental Construction Co. Inc., headquartered in Cambridge, MA. The first pier was poured in September 2005, and the unusual mix was supplied by Elm Concrete of Westbury, NY. Since the pour was defined by the state of New York as a ‘mass’ concrete pour, a special mix was designed and adopted with many attributes of a similar one already used in Florida.
