What makes data center construction different?

Speed.

A distribution center might use the same amount of concrete over 8-10 months. A data center can require twice the concrete in half the time. That's why planning, communication, and trusted partnerships are so important.

Thomas Concrete was proud to support the construction of DataBank 5 & 6 in Atlanta, working with Brasfield & Gorrie to help meet aggressive schedules and deliver the high-performance concrete these facilities require.

In our latest project video, members of the project team share what it takes to build critical digital infrastructure and why flexibility and collaboration were key to success.

We love to talk about concrete.

Earlier this week, our Upstate division had the pleasure of hosting the team from Ryan Homes at a Concrete 101 Lunch and Learn. Team members from Technical Services, Sales, and Customer Care were on hand to discuss concrete fundamentals, mix designs, quality control, and the factors that influence concrete performance.

A special thank-you to Eddie Deaver from Amrize for joining the discussion and sharing insights on the role cement plays in producing durable, high-quality concrete.

💡 How do you rebuild a central mix concrete drum?

Earlier this year, our plant maintenance team took the Cowpens, SC plant offline for a weekend to complete a full drum relining project. The work included removing the worn liner, preparing the drum interior, installing new liners and mixing blades, and returning to the plant for production.

Most people never see what goes on inside a concrete plant, but projects like this are what keep operations running safely and efficiently - with minimal downtime to our customers. At Thomas Concrete, drums can typically be relined twice before replacement, extending the life of critical equipment and maximizing its value.

A big thank-you to our plant maintenance team for the planning, skill, and hard work that made it happen.
