Titan America to expand Norfolk terminal in Virginia

12 April 2022

US: Titan America plans to spend around US$37m towards expanding its Norfolk terminal in Chesapeake, Virginia. The plans at the terminal, run by subsidiary Roanoke Cement Company, include building a 70,000t dome, enlarging truck and railway capacity and enabling the site to import and distribute raw materials such as fly ash, slag and aggregates. At present the unit has a bulk storage capacity of 35,000t. Titan says that the upgrade will enable it to meet growing demand for its products in the Mid-Atlantic region. The project also follows a similar investment in a 70,000t dome currently under construction at Titan's import terminal in Tampa, Florida.

"The major expansion and modernisation of these two marine terminals is another important step toward meeting fast-growing demand for our products and services in critical infrastructure, commercial and residential projects in our communities," said Bill Zarkalis, president and chief executive officer, Titan America.

The dome and associated expansion projects are scheduled for completion in 2023.

ForneyVault integrates Command Alkon software for concrete quality control

15 July 2021

US: ForneyVault has partnered with Command Alkon to improve the quality control process for a mutual customer, Titan Virginia Ready-Mix. The concrete producer, a subsidiary of Greece-based Titan Group, previously relied on both suppliers’ products separately. Now, ForneyVault has integrated Command Alkon ‘s quality control technology into its own data collection software. It says that the integration will benefit the concrete producer’s testing capabilities. Titan Virginia uses Command Alkon’s CommandQC software product to validate the quality for its own internal ready-mix concrete products.

Command Alkon software product owner James Shilstone said “Forney’s decision to place their data in the cloud makes it easy to interface with CommandQC. Sharing data between the two programmes eliminates the need for double entry and makes the test results available to the QC manager more quickly.” ForneyVault vice president, platform development Scott Grumski added “Integration with Command Alkon’s software allows Titan’s quality control technician to lose the clipboard and pencil... The integration partnership reduces risk and advances compliance for Titan’s quality assurance programme.”
