Featured Project
Americast Hanover Project
More than just a mixing and batching solution… A leader in precast concrete storm drainage and sanitary structures, Americast, needed more than just a high capacity mixing and batching plant for greater output of concrete pipe, they needed a comprehensive productivity solution from ACT.

Rising to the occasion, the design team at ACT started low!
The team at ACT designed a low profile aggregate bunker storage system constructed with precast box culvert segments produced by Americast. Utilizing a below grade aggregate weigh belt system, the storage solution gave Americast capacity for 800 tons, all with minimal aggregate material handling and equipment necessary. The turnkey mixing batching plant itself features twin HPGM planetary mixers working seamlessly in tandem with a Hawkeye Pipe Plus and VUP, thanks to ACT’s advanced PCS Control System. As is standard operating procedure for the solutions providers at ACT, the entire plant was delivered pre-wired and ready to go. Installation and startup were complete in a matter of weeks.
“From the design stage to startup, the process with ACT went smoothly. Two new installations since the Hanover install are benefitting from ACT’s technology.” – Don Anger, Operations Manager
