Tindall officials anticipate their new Moss Point, Miss., precast/prestressed plant will be fully operational by December, providing structural and architectural product throughout the Gulf region. Equipped with automated mix delivery and reinforcing-steel fabrication, the $24 million plant replaces a waterfront operation in nearby Biloxi that was decimated in August 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. Tindall plans a formal open house at the 95,000-sq.-ft. plant and envisions a near-term payroll in Mississippi of 100-plus production, engineering, project management, sales, estimating and business development staff. One of the largest privately held precast/prestressed operators, Tindall also operates South Carolina (headquarters), Conley, Ga., and Petersburg, Va., plants.
