PROJECTS
We have provided quality building materials to many projects across north Mississippi. Below are a few examples that demonstrate our capabilities to meet a wide range of requirements – large volume, highly specified, decorative, special requirements, and everything in between.
B & B Concrete supplied ready mixed concrete for a new, state-of-the-art orthopedic clinic and surgery center in Tupelo, MS constructed by general contractor JESCO, Inc. The project involved numerous custom mix designs including mixes using specialty moisture mitigating admixtures for foundation and pool applications, as well as structural macro-fiber for mixes used in the construction of an all-concrete parking lot.
B & B Concrete was the single ready mixed supplier to contractor Robins & Morton for newly built Baptist Hospital North Mississippi in Oxford, MS. B & B supplied 21 custom mix designs per the project specifications, including auger piling, high early strength, lightweight concrete, and mixes up to 7,000 PSI. In total, B & B supplied more than 40,000 cubic yards of concrete to the project over 10 months from our fixed plant location in Oxford while maintaining service to many ongoing projects throughout Oxford and Lafayette County.
B & B is proud to supply concrete to many residential contractor customers on projects throughout north Mississippi. Our Tupelo division supplied material for foundations, patios, block-fill and a beautiful exposed limestone driveway at this custom home. From our Contractor Supply Store in Tupelo, we are able to supply integral color, stains, surface retarders and sealers required for a variety of decorative concrete projects.
To meet the 18-month construction schedule for a new 12 mile stretch of four-lane highway 9, contractor Eutaw Construction turned to B & B Concrete to supply thousands of linear feet of concrete pipe for storm drainage and over 10,000 cubic yards of ready mixed concrete for bridges, box culverts, curbs and islands. The project was completed ahead of schedule in 13 months in preparation for the location of a new Toyota manufacturing plant in north Mississippi.
Since 1994, Ashley Furniture has been a major economic engine in north Mississippi, employing 4,000 from several manufacturing locations including its facility in Ecru, MS. At over 2 million square feet, the Ecru plant is the largest upholstered furniture manufacturing facility in the world. B & B Concrete has supplied ready mixed concrete for manufacturing buildings, warehouses, lumber storage, offices, access roads, and parking across all 13 expansion phases of the facility.
B & B Concrete supplied approximately 12,000 cubic yards of ready mixed concrete to L & A Contracting for a large bridge spanning part of the Tallahatchie River along MS Highway 7. To meet the stringent MDOT temperature specifications, much of the concrete was placed at night. The project required close communication with multiple contractors and sub-contractors working both day and night shifts to coordinate trucks, drivers, materials, quality control requirements and plant staff.
“I just wanted to let B & B Concrete know how much I appreciated all the support and good quality concrete that we received during our recent project. Every project has its ups and downs, but B & B helped through some tough situations and supplied us with a quality product, and we got extremely good breaks. The technical support for mix designs, the field staff support, and making the batch plant area accessible to load steel fibers certainly did not go un-noticed to myself and others here in our Columbus, Indiana office. Please pass along our “Thank You” to all of your drivers and staff. “
