Spent last week in Augusta with the SC-GA Region leadership team discussing our business, our people, and where we’re headed.

One of the more interesting parts of the retreat was taking a boat tour through the Augusta Canal. It was a good reminder that the infrastructure we work around every day often has a much bigger story behind it. What was built generations ago to support industry and economic growth is still creating value for the community today.

It’s easy to get caught up in budgets, projects, schedules, and KPIs. Taking a step back to see how vision, planning, and ex*****on can have a lasting impact on a region was a worthwhile perspective.

Appreciate the conversations, the collaboration, and the opportunity to spend time with leaders from across the SC-GA Region. Looking forward to putting some of what we discussed into action.

Snow day in the creates a great opportunity for ACI training. hosts three times per year and the next date falls at the end of January.

Fun Fact: We added some sugar to the mix to increase work time and 4 days later the cylinders were still soft.

Concrete Washout Areas

I ran across this gem the other day—it gave me a good laugh, but honestly, it might just do the trick if done right!

Here’s how to make any washout setup effective:
☑️ Use lined pits or containers to catch the waste.
☑️ Keep them away from drains and water.
☑️ Check and clean them out regularly—don’t let them overflow!

Concrete washouts protect the environment, help you stay compliant with EPA rules, and make site cleanup way easier and safer for everyone.

Are you curing concrete cylinders with the WRONG LIME!?!?

Here we take a dive into ASTM C511 to discuss using the correct lime for concrete cylinder curing. Hint: It’s not available at most agricultural box stores such as Tractor Supply.

Should we test the difference in curing with correct lime vs. incorrect lime vs. no lime?

Le Creuset in Early Branch, SC is coming along nicely! Rock is on the pad and foundation construction will be starting soon!

Concrete testing edition…

This article blew me away. They made enough concrete testing cylinders for a 100 year study! In 1910, University of Wisconsin–Madison professor Owen Withey initiated a 100-year study to understand concrete’s long-term properties. Over the century, successive UW–Madison engineers tested more than 2,500 concrete samples, providing invaluable insights into the material’s durability and performance. The study concluded in 2010. You can read the full story here.

In a perfect world, every job site would have power, and we’d always have a perfa-cure curing box ready to store cylinders.

But the reality? That’s not always the case. Sometimes, you have to adapt and make the best of what you’ve got. For this project, a cooler and some blankets did the trick to keep the cylinders properly cured.

It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done. At the end of the day, it’s about finding solutions that work, even when the conditions aren’t perfect.
