Concrete Tracker

The scope of this project was so massive it could not be completed in a single construction season. The work on the 550,000 square foot parking area began in September 2018 and was completed in the fall of 2019. Most of the concrete poured was 7” thick using a State approved concrete mix. The air entrained mix contained a combination of mid-range and high-range water reducers to enable the contractor to pour at a higher slump and meet strength requirements in less than 28 days.

In total, over 13,000 Cy of concrete were poured in the parking area alone. The largest single day concrete pour was 940 Cy while average placements were 300-500 Cy a day. Cutting edge technology was used to pour the concrete islands around the property. A stringless GPS curb & gutter machine was used to pour and maneuver around the countless curbs. Utilizing this type of technology reduced setup time.

The speed and efficiency of this project met the owner’s aggressive construction schedule, allowing it to open ahead of expectations. The Dayton Freight facility is operating two shifts a day as 50 different drivers load and unload cargo. The ownership team is thrilled they now have a state-of-the art distribution center.
