We are at the end of another construction season for the portable asphalt.  Since Labor Day the portable crew has been back in the Newton area.

The portable crew and the commercial crew have been working together on various projects.

Our commercial plant that we currently are moving back to Malcom produced the asphalt for a Jasper County project and the project on Hwy 14 from Newton to Monroe.

When the portable crew finished in Audubon County at the end of August, the portable asphalt plant was brought back and set up at Kellogg.  It hasn’t produced much mix since it was brought back to the home area.  Now it is the only plant with any mix to produce.

Both crews are working hard to try and finish the parking lot for the new Wal-Mart Super Center in Grinnell.  This is the last project that we have to finish this fall.

The Newton racetrack will get a little rock put on yet this fall and the bulk of our work at the track will be done next year.

In total this year we produced 282,000 Tons of hot mix out of our 3 asphalt plants.  Newton did 52,900 Tons, Kellogg did 167,700 Tons and the plant at Reasnor did 61,500 Tons.

Everyone have a safe winter and a happy holiday season.

We will see you back in the spring.
