October Comes to a Close

As the month of October comes to a close, construction is speeding up and things are taking shape. The rock crusher is set up and crushing rock, the paving crew is here and ready to roll, the commodity shed is being formed and poured, and pipe is being laid.

Footings formed for the commodity shed....as you can see it isn't always sunny on the job.

October in Utah

Things are progressing well in Newcastle, Utah.  We have been pouring concrete as fast as we can to beat the cold weather.  The steel building from Chief Industries has arrived and erection has begun.
