facility and repaving the building’s parking lot. “We saw a record concrete year in 2017. We were seeing volumes 50 percent ahead of historic averages. A lot of that had to do with midstream oil and gas construction projects in Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, combined with several highway projects in West Virginia,” he continued. The company was involved with aggregate sales and delivery for a pipeline project running from Ohio through West Virginia to Western Pennsylvania. Pipeline work means increased aggregate sales and delivery, development of access roads and repair to public roads affected during the construction, as well as increased sales of materials used to enclose the pipelines. Local business development has continued to drive the construction market as well. Continuing opportunities have and will come from the Three Springs Crossings retail plaza off Three Springs Drive, Frontier’s development of the purchased surplus property of Arcelor-Mittal, the start of operations for Bidell Gas Compression and the forthcoming construction of the
Pietro Fiorentini facility in Weirton. Wehr also noted the company’s involvement with the school construction project in Brooke County during 2017. A mild winter in 2017 contributed to the record year, too. “Last year was a godsend. The previous two winters were horrendous. Hopefully we break out of this weather soon,” Wehr said. The company’s terminal operation continues to thrive. Mississippi Lime’s hydrate plant is operating on a full schedule, incoming coils are scheduled for unloading, and there lately has been interest in loading coils into barges from facilities in Weirton for delivery elsewhere. The potential development of the cracker at Dilles Bottom as well as the Shell plant under construction will be helping to drive future development in the region, along with the development already under way. Wehr noted that the company presently is reviewing its property holdings in Weirton for potential future residential development.
