The newly formed Tindall Texas Division has begun permitting and construction of a precast/prestressed operation in San Antonio, with initial production concentrated on correctional cell modules. The 114,000-sq.-ft. plant is scheduled for a summer 2008 opening and will become the fifth plant under Tindall Corp., one of the largest regional players in precast/prestressed concrete.

Company officials note that the advanced facility will mark a $25 million investment over five years and employ upwards of 250 when in full operation. Ten seasoned Tindall employees will transfer to San Antonio, to be joined by new hires in production, engineering, project management, sales, estimating and business development. The Texas ground breaking is on the heels of a major structural products operation Tindall dedicated late last year in Moss Point, Miss., replacing a shorefront Biloxi plant lost to Hurricane Katrina.
