Dive summary:
- Middle Georgia Concrete Contractors Inc. has developed a specialty in producing polished concrete floors with inlaid aggregates and a range of colors, such as 7,800 square feet of entry and hallway floor at the new Clarence Brown Conference Center in Cartersville, Ga.
- One important technique that CEO Scott Truax says the company developed early on is doing pours in strips narrow enough for workers to operate trowel machines from outside the forms so they do not have to walk on the concrete after aggregate has been broadcast.
