The concrete industry in Northern California collaborated to support the construction of the Colfax Skatepark with the grand opening scheduled for Oct 3rd.

After 25 years of planning and fund raising the concrete industry came together to support this community by donating all the concrete 🤝

Starting with the Pan Pacific Cement and aggregates provided by Teichert's Western Aggregates, the concrete was batched off the A&A Ready Mixed Concrete plant to ensure New Line Skateparks and the City of Colfax received a consistent mix. Also, a big shout out to Solomon Colors for donating the various colors to make the concrete at the skatepark shine!

Then all the other companies supplied their trucks and drivers to supply the concrete A&A:
Livingston's Concrete Service Inc.
Mathews Ready Mix Inc
Bear River Aggregates
Cemex
Folsom Ready Mix, Inc
HANFORD SAND & GRAVEL INC
West Coast Outlaws Inc.

The concrete industry offers amazing career opportunities and they live to support our communities!!

Come out to the Colfax Grand Opening to celebrate Concrete and Community!!! We are honored to have Mike McGill as our special guest! 🛹

Learning concrete has never looked this fun! 👏

A huge shoutout to SUN Area Technical Institute, and instructor Ryan Swinehart for bringing the Skate4Concrete Certification® to life during their summer camp! These 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students spent four half-days learning concrete fundamentals while working together to build their own mini concrete skatepark! 🛹

This is exactly what the Skate4Concrete Certification® is all about. Hands-on learning that introduces students to the science of concrete, teamwork, creativity, and the many career opportunities available in our industry.

A special thank you to Heidelberg Materials for supplying the rock, sand, cement, and continued support, and to Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association (PACA) for helping make opportunities like this possible! 🙌

Great work SUNTech! Thank you for inspiring the next generation of concrete professionals! Check out their journey and the awesome mini concrete skateparks they created!
