What's New

 

As of January 30, 2012, we have worked a total of 96 workdays without an OSHA recordable incident, the last being on October 26, 2011. As of this same date, we have worked a total of 292 workdays since our last lost workday on April 13, 2011. Safety is the number one goal of Fort Miller and we continue to practice this on a daily basis.

In July of 2010, we closed on the purchase of the Dream Lake sand and stone reserves located in the Town of Queensbury, NY. We are excited about this acquisition and the many opportunities it offers. Our business and Duke Concrete Products rely very heavily upon an adequate supply of sand and stone and this purchase provides us a supply with an estimated life in excess of 75 years.

In June of 2010, we participated in a project showcase sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (through their Highways for Life Program) and the California Department of Transportation (FHWA/Caltrans) which highlighted the use of Super SlabŪ being installed on I-15 in San Bernardino, California. According to the Highways for Life and Caltrans, Super-SlabŪ was selected "to boost the durability and speed up the rehabilitation of a section of Route 15 in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties." This project has progressed faster than anyone expected. The contractor has installed as many as 52 slabs in one 8-hour shift. Representatives from the states of California, Washington, Oregon, Utah and Nevada attended.

On July 20, 2010, we participated in another FHWA/Highways for Life project showcase project in Washington, DC with 16 precast piers and 14 precast bridge units. This was our first project in Washington, DC for the District Department of Transportation. The project included $1.0 million in funds from the FHWA that encouraged the use of our innovative technologies. The Administrator of the FHWA, Victor Mendez, attended a press conference at the site discussing this innovative approach to construction. The seminar was attended by over 50 agency and consulting engineering professionals.

***********************************************************************

Our Super SlabŪ project in NYC with Tully Construction near JFK Airport was the site of a recent FHWA/NYSDOT/Fort Miller sponsored showcase. Over 45 people from New York City, Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and several consulting engineering firms attended a seminar and visited the project during the nighttime installation. A significant amount of interest was generated. We expect more work in the metro NY region as a result.
