Cement & Ready-Mix Concrete Operations<br />
Portable Concrete Plants<br />
Ambitious construction schedules were<br />
a common theme between both of<br />
Miller Concrete’s 2014 portable plant<br />
projects. Miller supplied concrete over<br />
two months to the Highway 404 Extension,<br />
and even more concrete over five<br />
months to the K2 Wind Farm.<br />
Timely completion of each project<br />
demonstrates that Miller has the people<br />
and resources to support large concrete<br />
supply contracts.<br />
Construction on the Highway 404 Extension<br />
was completed by Miller Paving<br />
Limited for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. Miller supplied cement-treated open graded drainage layer (OGDL) and slipform<br />
concrete pavement from our Erie Strayer wet-batch concrete plant. This thirteen kilometer four-lane extension will remove<br />
traffic from local roads, reduce travel time and support regional economic development.<br />
AMEC Black & McDonald is building 140 turbines for K2 Wind Ontario’s 270 megawatt wind power farm in the Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh.<br />
Miller supplied turbine foundations from our Vince Hagan wet-batch plant. Concrete production rates<br />
exceeding 150 cubic meters per hour helped crews complete foundation construction ahead of schedule. The K2 Wind Farm is<br />
expected to provide enough electricity to power 100 000 homes annually.<br />
After a successful construction season we are looking forward to taking on new challenges <strong>with</strong> our portable plants.<br />
Miller Concrete – Whitby<br />
The Whitby Plant continued to supply<br />
large scale infrastructure projects<br />
throughout 2014.<br />
The Southeast Collector Sewer nears<br />
completion <strong>with</strong> 50 MPa high performance<br />
concrete supplied this<br />
year. This was our 3rd year supplying<br />
specialty mixes from 5 MPa lean mixes<br />
to 50 MPa structural steel fibre mixes to<br />
international underground contractor,<br />
Strabag. Our liquid nitrogen cooling<br />
system has been used extensively on<br />
the project to meet the tight temperature<br />
specifications.<br />
The Hwy 407 extension project has<br />
been in full gear <strong>with</strong> multiple bridge<br />
structures under construction throughout<br />
the area. More is to be supplied in<br />
<strong>2015</strong>.<br />
Cement & Ready-Mix Concrete Operations<br />
Other notable projects in Durham Region include the Clarington Police Station which is nearing completion <strong>with</strong> General Contractor<br />
Graham Construction. The Courtice Incineator is set to open in spring <strong>2015</strong>. Much volume has been supplied to Kenaidan<br />
Contracting for the project. We have also been busy <strong>with</strong> a number of bridge replacement projects in the area.<br />
