INNOVATION & ORIGINS

How ATI Designed the Pile Cutting Machine

— and Set a New Industry Standard

Aggregate Technologies, Inc. | Houston, TX

In 2008, Motiva’s Crude Expansion Project was transforming Port Arthur, Texas into the site of the largest oil-producing refinery in North America. The scale of the project was historic — and so were its demands. Among them: 50,000 concrete piles that needed to be cut.

At the time, the industry standard was wall saws. Two operators. An excavator and its operator to hold each pile steady during the cut. Crews sometimes working in standing mud just to get the job done. It was slow, labor-intensive, and — most importantly — dangerous.

ATI was on that job. And we knew there had to be a better way.

“We knew there was a better process. So we designed and built one ourselves.”

The idea came from ATI Vice President David Rogers. During his early career at Aggregate Technologies, David drew on his background in the timber industry — and he recognized that the feller buncher, a machine that grips and shears trees at the base in a single fluid motion, was solving essentially the same problem: controlled, efficient cutting of a vertical structural member. The question was whether that principle could be engineered for concrete piles.

Under the leadership of CEO Ronnie Wills, ATI designed and built the machine entirely in-house. The result was the Pile Cutting Machine — the PCM. One machine. One operator. No excavator. No secondary crew holding the pile. Just a clean, safe, repeatable cut.

The results on the Motiva CEP were immediate and dramatic. ATI completed over 10,000 pile cuts with the PCM — delivering more than 100 cuts per day where the old method had required two operators, an excavator, and an excavator operator just to execute each single cut. The pile cutting workforce dropped from 30 people to one. And through it all, ATI recorded zero lost-time incidents.

The PCM didn’t just solve a problem on one project. It changed how the industry thinks about pile cutting altogether. What ATI designed and built in-house on the Motiva job is now effectively the industry standard — proof that the best innovations don’t always come from equipment manufacturers. Sometimes they come from the crew on the ground who got tired of doing it the hard way.

That’s the ATI difference. We don’t just perform the work — we engineer better ways to do it.

Aggregate Technologies, Inc. has been delivering innovative industrial demolition and concrete cutting solutions since 1996, operating across nine market sectors from Houston, TX.

Big NEWS! ATI Awarded Major Project Supporting National Infrastructure

Aggregate Technologies has been awarded one of the most significant projects in the company’s history, representing a major milestone in our continued growth.

This opportunity positions ATI to support national infrastructure work that demands the highest levels of safety, precision, and national security.

Our team was selected based on proven capability, technical expertise, and a track record of executing complex work in demanding environments. The project will utilize advanced hydrodemolition technology and specialized equipment designed for high-performance applications.

ATI currently operates a fleet of 14 Aqua Cutter robotic systems, representing one of the largest robotic hydrodemolition capabilities of any contractor in North America. This level of capacity allows us to efficiently execute projects of virtually any size or complexity.

Ex*****on in this environment requires strict adherence to safety standards, operational discipline, and confidentiality at every level. Our team is equipped and qualified to perform work in highly regulated and controlled environments.

We are proud to be part of this project and the role it plays in supporting national infrastructure that matters. It’s the kind of work that, years from now, our kids, grandkids, and fellow Americans can look at with pride — knowing it was done the right way.

This project represents a key step in ATI’s long-term strategy and reinforces our commitment to delivering excellence on complex, high-impact work.

God Bless the USA!

A little 🏌️‍♂️ golf, 🔥 hot wings, and beautiful 🌞 South Carolina weather set the perfect backdrop for our latest team session — and it’s one we won’t forget.

With new faces joining the ATI family, we headed back to Topgolf to connect, compete, and catch up.

Ronnie Wills led some genuinely meaningful conversations where every voice was heard and everyone walked away with real takeaways.

But beyond the strategy and the updates — it’s the people that make these gatherings matter.

You simply can’t build a strong team without investing quality time in one another. Learning where someone came from, what drives them, and who they really are — that’s what creates a team worth being a part. 🫶💪🏻🤝😎

These moments remind us why we do what we do — together. No man in an island!
