One of the cool things about us being a family business is that not only is the ownership the company made up a family. But there are there are pockets of families that have been a part of this company for multi generations. I had the privilege of being able to work, alongside mister Gates. For a number of years, and that idea that you never just stop where you're at. There's always room for improvement, whether it's the processes we use to manufacture, or the products that we're making. Our concrete services division's been in business since nineteen ninety five. We've done work with gates from the outset. They were with us through the pre planning process, the designing of everything. The execution of everything. Their customer service is fantastic. The response time was great. And again, huge part of our success. Gates like get in on the ground floor before the job is even starting. One of the things that contractors are looking for today is the total solution. It's whether it's in the the design of the form work itself or even just helping them understand the sequencing of how we would use form in the most efficient manner. We work directly with our customers and with engineers to make sure our products are both efficient and safe for everyone. It almost feels like everyone is is family. And we certainly strive to treat everyone that way, and it's one of the things I love the most about working here. Fip's comp crete, and the Gates Corporation is truly a partnership. We've gotten to know these guys on a personal level over the years. Wouldn't have it any other it. I think there's a sense of pride in what we do because we are making the products that are helping build the cities and infrastructure throughout this country. Some pride in the fact that you're using American made products to build to build America.

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

Carolinas contractors need field-tested evidence on new tools now. ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator reached 8.7 months in September, yet more than a quarter of contractors expect thinner margins.

  • 01A contractor with 8.7 months of work booked has time to pilot new tools. A contractor expecting thinner margins has less room to pay for a tool that only worked in the demo.
  • 02Diverge tests construction tools in controlled pilots and on active jobsites, and ABC can pass along what holds up. Contractors still need to choose what to pilot and define the metric that will decide it.
  • 03In South Carolina, a 1099 specialist brought in to run a tech pilot faces two separate state classification tests. Passing one does not settle the other.

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia will design and implement the industrial effluent treatment plant for Arauco's US$4.6 billion Sucuriú pulp mill in Inocência, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant will be capable of treating 10,600 cubic meters of wastewater per hour. Veolia says the organic load is equivalent to that of a municipality of 3 million inhabitants. It will use its biofilm activated sludge process, which aims to maximize treatment capacity within a compact footprint, ahead of the mill's expected late 2027 start of operations.

  • 01The plant will treat 10,600 cubic meters an hour at a 3.5 million-tonnes-a-year mill, and Filtration and Separation’s description suggests Sucuriú could serve as a reference design for next-generation builds.
  • 02Veolia’s design targets a compact footprint and includes belt presses to dewater sludge, making sludge handling part of the treatment system.
