| Logistical
Challenges |
Wieser Concrete prides itself on producing
innovative, quality precast structures for its customers
and while we enjoy producing the standard products,
the challenge of producing specialized structures is
a treat.
Producing a customized structure not only keeps everyone
on their toes but it adds to our production knowledge
and ability to leverage that knowledge on future projects.
This project was originally specified as a poured-in-place
tank but when the option of a Wieser precast tank was
presented, the customer determined that installing
the precast structure would save time and money. However,
due to the size of the tank components, getting the
structures to the jobsite involved a little more than
simply loading it on trucks and driving to the job.
Transporting precast by truck can present challenges
due to road restrictions of weight, height and width.
This structure was wider than normally allowed and
because it was moving from Wisconsin to Minnesota,
it was necessary to secure permits from both states.
In addition, each state has different restrictions
regarding when and where the loaded truck can move
on the roads.
This structure was produced
at our Maiden Rock, Wisconsin facility and needed to
be set on the jobsite in Duluth, Minnesota. Once the
proper permits were secured, trucks needed to move
at night in Wisconsin and only during daylight hours
in Minnesota.

 One Tank Section Loaded & Waiting for Escorts
The coordination for this road trip was interesting
to say the least but when all was said and done, the
customer received a quality precast structure that
was installed within one day and met the project requirements
to a tee.
Wieser Concrete can produce and deliver the precast
components your project requires. Contact your nearest
