Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Strescon Limited, of the OSCO Construction Group, is one of the most important precast suppliers in the Canadian Maritimes, with several production facilities in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, also playing an important role in the Ready-Mix concrete business. After a few years of business analysis, it was decided to better optimize the concrete production and delivery in the relatively old setup of the main production facility in Bedford, Nova Scotia. The project had to be completed without interrupting the production of concrete elements produced in the existing tower batch plant. With this new investment, Strescon’s management thoroughly evaluated the possibility of realizing an automatic concrete distribution system integration in the old factory layout: the most challenging part of this project was the optimization of the new layout and the integration of the concrete distribution system from the engineering point of view.
