Dry Pour Concrete and Southern Concrete Machinery
Manage episode 435172263 series 3582014
In this conversation, Paul and Joey discuss the dry-pour method of pouring concrete. They explore the process of pouring bagged concrete without mixing it in a wheelbarrow, instead pouring it directly into a form and adding water on top. They discuss the strength and durability of dry-pour concrete, as well as its limitations and applications. They also touch on the importance of proper curing and construction techniques.
Then, Chris Davenport, President of Southern Concrete Machinery, discusses his experience as the first Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program graduate at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). He talks about the program's early days, the curriculum, and the industry focus group that put it together. Chris also shares his journey after graduation, including working for Master Builders Technologies and eventually joining Southern Concrete Machinery. He discusses the challenges and opportunities in the concrete industry, the importance of efficiency and cleanliness in concrete plants, and the industry's future. Chris and Paul discuss the sales cycle for concrete plants and the importance of repeat customers. They also discuss the challenges faced during the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. Chris shares his experience with different concrete plant brands and involvement with the CIM Patrons. They also mention the World of Concrete auction and the growth of the CIM program. The conversation ends with a discussion of the sales profession and the importance of being a self-starter.
