For the Ford Truck Plant, Advance poured over 2,500 yards of concrete in a single night. We also completed projects like the KFC YUM! Center with over 80,000 yards of concrete, Omni Hotel with 45,000 yards of concrete and the Ohio River Bridges Project with just over 250,000 yards in it. Small jobs receive no less attention. Banks, restaurants, sidewalks or parking lots – Advance supplies concrete to smaller commercial jobs every day. While we are proud of our large job accomplishments, we still take time to show the small guy he’s important. KFC Yum! Center Contractor: FA Wilhelm Construction Type of Project: Entertainment Construction Method: Cast in Place Concrete Yardage: 70,000 yards The construction of the KFC Yum! Center was a catalyst for downtown Louisville when construction began in 2008. This project served the same purpose for Advance Ready Mix. The 70,000 yards provided much needed work through the recession and was the largest project the company had ever done at that time. In addition to the large quantity of concrete on this project, it gave Advance additional experience working on a challenging project both with regards to schedule and mix designs. The concrete on the Yum! Center, despite the mass amounts, was all poured in just over a year. In addition to the fast paced schedule, the mixes on the project were far from basic. Some of the highlights of this project were: 6000 psi auger-cast grout High strength self-consolidating concrete 8000 psi concrete Mixes that required 4000 psi at 24 hours 3 gallons of corrosion inhibitor High fly ash LEED mixes Despite the aggressive schedule and complicated mixes, Advance Ready Mix successfully completed the project and put itself in a position to tackle even more challenging projects like the Ohio River Bridges and Omni Hotel.
