Advance Ready Mix Concrete, Inc.

Scope Of Work

The construction of the KFC Yum! Center was a catalyst for downtown Louisville when construction began in 2008. This project served the same purpose for Advance Ready Mix. The 70,000 yards provided much-needed work through the recession and was the largest project the company had ever done at that time. In addition to the large quantity of concrete on this project, it gave Advance additional experience working on a challenging project both with regards to schedule and mix designs.   

The concrete on the Yum! Center, despite the mass amounts, was all poured in just over a year. In addition to the fast-paced schedule, the mixes on the project were far from basic. Some of the highlights of this project were:  

• 6000 psi auger-cast grout  
• High-strength self-consolidating concrete 
• 8000 psi concrete 
• Mixes that required 4000 psi at 24 hours 
• 3 gallons of corrosion inhibitor  
• High fly-ash LEED mixes 

Despite the aggressive schedule and complicated mixes, Advance Ready Mix successfully completed the project and put itself in a position to tackle even more challenging projects like the Ohio River Bridges and Omni Hotel.
