About FTG Construction Materials, Inc.
FTG
Construction maintains sand and dirt pits, including three
surface mines with screening plants throughout the Tracy,
Manteca, Stockton, Antioch, Brentwood, Ione and Sacramento
areas. Equipment operated by F.T.G. Construction Materials,
Inc. include front-end loaders, excavators, dozers, blades,
paddle-wheels, water-wagons, water trucks, screening plants
and a low-bed to transport equipment. F.T.G. Construction
Materials, Inc. has a fully operational shop which maintains
and overhauls its own equipment, including two fully stocked
service vehicles which lube, fuel and conduct preventative
maintenance operations in the field. F.T.G. Construction
Materials, Inc. also has a materials yard at 915 Anderson
Street in Stockton. This yard contains stock piled materials
such as landscaping soils, sand, loam, road-base, topsoil,
garden rock, pea-gravel, dirt, etc. which is sold to
contractors and the public. These materials can be picked up
by customers, or trucked out and specially delivered by
Alegre Trucking�s equipment. In 1990 Frank Alegre founded
Ramrock Environmental Recycling Co. and Ramrock Leasing &
Equipment Co., Inc. Ramrock currently owns and operates
three portable rock crushing plants which could be broken
down, and set back up for operation on any jobsite in a
matter of days. The primary operation of these plants is
recycling of waste concrete solids and asphalt into a
variety of reusable aggregate products. Each plant can
average approximately 1,200 tons of material each day, much
of it coming from area contractors. The concrete and asphalt
often come from demolition of highways, streets, parking
lots, driveways, etc.
These Jaw and Impact Crushers can handle concrete
containing rebar. Certain materials can be recycled at a
rate of 175-250 tons per hour. Clean concrete and/or asphalt
waste is quickly recycled to Class II AB, spec or non-spec,
depending on materials processed. These plants can produce
1/2" or 1" minus, crushed rock, drain rock, road base, and
sand from waste debris. Ramrock is available to landfill
operations to assist with compliance of AB939, the Landfill
Reduction Bill, in assisting recycling and reusing solid
concrete and asphalt waste products. Contractors and the
public can benefit in that Ramrock will accept the waste
items that are so costly to dispose of, and can convert the
"disposal headaches" into profitable resaleable commodities.
The crushed material can be used for such things as roadbed
construction. Clean material brought in by the County and
City is received without charge. Charges for others depend
on the amount and type of material. |
