The August issue of Concrete Products leads off with a visit to the most ambitious ready mixed plant that New York City contractors and practitioners have seen built from the ground up in decades. Gotham Ready Mix is a case study in urban plant design and space optimization. Located on a 1.25-acre site the producer’s twin alley, transit mixed plant is equipped to serve its Brooklyn home base, plus the Big Apple’s four other boroughs: Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.

The latter facility serves accounts of all sizes, offering conventional to high performance concretes, including mixes up to 14,000 psi design strength. To augment up to 30 12-yd. McNeilus Standard mixers based at Brooklyn, the producer has recently added a Zim-Mixer volumetric and a McNeilus Standard with 60-ft. Theam TLD truck-mounted conveyor.
