Mitchell Plant Wins Silver Award in the Industrial Paving Category at American Concrete Pavement Association Awards

ACPA Award

We are pleased to announce that the Heidelberg Materials cement plant in Mitchell, Indiana, was selected as the American Concrete Pavement Association Silver Award winner in the Industrial Paving Category. 

As part of the recent upgrades at the Mitchell facility, extensive paving work was completed at the site. Milestone Contractors constructed heavy-duty concrete pavements around the new finish mill and pack house, as well as heavy-load DOT pavements for haul roads leading to the new and repurposed silos. Additionally, they incorporated light-duty pavements for several parking lots and cement terminal administrative roads, ultimately completing 36,000 square yards of paving across 10 locations on the 80-acre site.

The project required four different pavement thicknesses and various widths, and Milestone utilized every available paving method to complete the work efficiently. Slipform pavers were employed on all access roads around the new plant, laser screed paving was used for large parking lots, and hand-struck formwork was utilized for everything else. The concrete was supplied by Irving Materials' Paoli and Bedford ready mixed concrete plants.

Coordination was key throughout this project. The team from Milestone did a great job working with the Heidelberg Materials plant team to ensure minimal disruptions by scheduling pours around active cement loadout and the numerous plant assembly construction vehicles. Site grading and concrete paving took place amid the startup process of the new cement plant and continued throughout. 

“We are pleased to have the paving work at our new Mitchell plant recognized with this important industry award,” said Toby Knott, Vice President, Cement Sales, Heidelberg Materials North America’s Midwest Region. “The team at Milestone Contractors did a great job with the paving work and coordinated with plant staff closely to ensure an efficient and seamless project.”
