In August 2022, construction began at “Project Cinco” at Georgia-Pacific in Green Bay with the final concrete pour in June of 2024. This was a half-billion-dollar expansion project bringing approximately 100 new jobs making Brawny paper products.

An array of mixes were used ranging from 2,000-psi lean crete, up to a 7,000-psi 9-bag, amounting to a total of 39,596 cubic yards.

All floor pours included 3 pounds of forta-fiber per yard which was equivalent to about 80% of the project concrete volume.  Some mixes contained mid-range water reducers & superplasticizer.

Difficulties faced included traveling between two plants, one 2 minutes from the job and one 20 minutes away, requiring collaboration to ensure arrival and unloading time accuracy. With the closer plant, preloading trucks was necessary to guarantee there was adequate mix and travel time given.

The job site required trucks to wash out at the plant, so as not to add to the congestion on the job site. Precise planning through providing pour schedules ensured the ability to accommodate others during high-demand times.
