Milestones in Moving Materials
Concrete Construction drew its first breath in the midst of an industry that was enjoying explosive post-WWII market growth and technological innovation. The days of portable onsite mixers and slow placement methods were slipping away. Ready-mixed concrete was becoming ubiquitous, delivering large batches that had to be placed promptly. This, in turn, drove advancements such as pumps, conveyors, power vibrators, screeds, and troweling machines, all designed to allow placing and finishing concrete at high rates.
