Concrete manufacturer modernizes Seffner facility

A precast concrete manufacturing plant outside of Tampa is being modernized to make it more environmentally friendly.

The plant, which is at 6324 County Road 579 in Seffner, belongs to Cast-Crete USA.

The modernization plan calls for changes that will make it easier to contain cement dust by using top dust collectors and for mixer washout water to be recycled back into mixers. Cast-Crete is also installing new concrete mixers that run on electric rather than diesel which will produce lest dust and exhaust.
