Case Study:
Sustainable Expansion for a Chemical Facility in San Antonio
An innovative company in the chemical industry
Meet Our Client
Our client is a chemical packaging facility based in San Antonio operating in the oil and gas industry. They needed to expand its outdoor storage space to accommodate growth and operations. The challenge was to achieve this efficiently and cost-effectively while preserving nature on the property.
The Challenge:
an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable solution
As the company grew, they needed additional outdoor space to store pallets and equipment. However, expanding the lot using traditional concrete methods would have required removing existing trees, something the company wanted to avoid. They also sought to minimize project costs and downtime, as a lengthy installation could disrupt daily operations.
The company’s goals included:
Expanding the storage area quickly without interrupting operations.
Preserving the trees on-site to maintain the natural environment.
Reducing the costs associated with traditional concrete installations.
The Solution:
Innovative Mechanical Concrete®
for fast-growing industries
3rd Rock Renewables provided a sustainable and innovative alternative with Mechanical Concrete®, which uses end-of-life tires to create a durable and permeable basis. This solution allowed the company to avoid pouring concrete, preserve the trees, and offer a faster, more cost-efficient approach.
Key benefits of our solution:
Quick Installation:
The Mechanical Concrete® base was installed in just two days, ready to receive aggregate immediately, minimizing downtime.
Environmental Preservation:
The permeable structure of Mechanical Concrete® enabled the company to leave the trees intact, a significant advantage over traditional concrete.
