“The SPEC MIX silo system allowed us to save labor by utilizing only one man at each mixing station batching multiple products at one time,” said Mike Rimpf, Project Supervisor, Foti Contractors. “We would have had to add at least one or two extra men at each mixing station to keep up with production and schedule demands. Having only one laborer at each station allowed Foti to save tens of thousands of dollars on labor, while maintaining the schedule”. Foti actually completed their portion of the schedule two months early. “QUIKRETE Cleveland and Patrick O’Toole gave us excellent service throughout this demanding 18 month schedule for masonry completion.”
