Trenwa, Inc. updates third location with new batch plant
Trenwa supplies its products throughout North America from its three manufacturing sites in the U.S. West, Midwest and South. Product quality is critical to its utility customers and others. The consistency and volume of SCC that the firm’s ACT batch plants produce is providing considerable benefits, including a boost to the bottom line.
The benefits of the batching accuracy and repeatability provided by the SmartMix countercurrent mixer and PLC-based SmartTouch controls include extreme water/cement ratio accuracy, reduced cement use, reduced waste, and product flexibility.
Keith Riggs, Trenwa President and son of co-founder Charles Riggs, believed strongly that the firm’s investments in plant modernization, including the purchase of ACT SmartMix batching systems for all three of its production facilities was the right decision.

Dalmaray expands product line and market boundaries to achieve best year ever
Dalmaray was forced to adapt its business schedule and practices to the restrictions of its ready-mix suppliers. The firm, which began more than fifty years ago producing precast steps, is now one of the larger diversified precasters in Wisconsin. The firm’s product line today includes precast utility pads and vaults, window wells, manholes, retaining wall, septic tanks, agricultural structures and many custom products.
Ausen’s decision to invest in his own batching plant was not easy. “I looked at about eight different suppliers for batch plants and they all asked me a lot of specific questions, many of which I just couldn’t answer,” he recalls. “I had never owned or run a batch plant before so I didn’t know what I needed. Luckily, I found Advanced Concrete Technologies (ACT). Max Hoene, the president of ACT, visited our facility. He and the ACT/Wiggert design team showed us exactly how a batch plant worked and helped us determine the best solution.”
ACT provided Ausen with engineering and design guidance at every step of the way to ensure the new batch plant would fit in the existing Dalmaray facility on Arch Street. While Ausen also planned a production floor expansion, space was tight for the new batch plant.

Lecuyer Group Project
The combination of HawkeyePedershaab PipePro XT pipe production system and ACT MobilMat concrete batching give Lecuyer the greatest possible competitive edge.
The Lecuyer team decided the time was right for a new, completely automated plant in Canada— which could produce the right types of pipe at the lowest possible cost, yet do so with the highest quality and on-time delivery. The Quebec Concrete Pipe Inc., in French known as Tuyaux de Béton Quebec Inc., was developed with the help of Lecuyer’s team partners, Hawkeye-Pedershaab and Advanced Concrete Technologies (ACT- American division of Wiggert+Co and Würschum GmbH).
The state-of-the-art pipe plant was designed and built specifically to accommodate the HawkeyePedershaab PipePro XT RCP manufacturing system and ACT MobilMat Mo80/4-PCS concrete batching plant. Both HawkeyePedershaab and ACT engineers assisted Lecuyer and its general contractor from the earliest stages through to completion to ensure an optimal outcome.
Beginning in November 2009 and continuing until the plant was producing commercial quantities of pipe in early 2011, Hawkeye- Pedershaab and ACT representatives visited the Lecuyer site numerous times, provided detailed drawings, consulted by phone and email, and delivered and commissioned the pipe production equipment according to a detailed schedule, complete with performance guarantees.
