Rapid International supplies new concrete mixing plant to Texas producer

The new Rapidmix is being utilised for the production of high volume structural concrete and soil cement on the US$37m project to construct raw water storage for the Bois D’Arc Regional Water Treatment Plant.

Thalle Construction offers a range of construction and construction material services including dams, landfills, site work, communication technology, and roller compacted concrete.

Thalle has been a member of Tully Group since 2012.The Bois D’Arc Regional Water Treatment Plant forms part of the larger US$1.6bn Bois D’Arc Reservoir and Regional Water Supply Project by the North Texas Municipal Water District. The project will supply 70 million gallons daily initially to customers in North Texas – one of the fastest-growing regions in the US. The reservoir will be lined with the latest technology geomembrane and HDP liner covered in 30.48cm of soil cement. Thalle required a mixing solution with the flexibility to produce both high and low slump concrete at volume in one machine.

Robert Farrow, project manager at Thalle Construction, commented: “The process has been very successful."Thalle has successfully poured in excess of 800 CY/day of the structural concrete and looks forward to increasing our production on the soil cement. The project is currently 4 weeks ahead of schedule and below budget.”
