Princeton Walmart Pour

Today we are pouring the floor for the new Princeton Walmart. This 159,089 square foot building, built by DBS Corporation, will be complete in March of this year.

This job site came with a few restrictions, so I safely snapped this photo from the across the street. Even though I travel with my hard hat and safety boots in the car, it was probably best that I didn't take the Jetta down the gravel road.

Ever wonder what concrete is made of? Until I started working at Federal Materials Company, I had no idea. Concrete is involved with every construction project, from bridges and roads to walls and floors to counter tops. You probably see our concrete mixers everywhere, but we do more than just deliver concrete. Supported by nine ready mixed plants, we provide concrete testing, trained mixer operators and experienced customer representatives to ensure that your concrete is properly placed to last. Check this blog often for a look into the concrete industry. We are going green, building LEED and practicing SIP!

And ps, concrete is made of water, sand, cement and gravel.
