“For more than a century, we’ve been supplying cement, aggregates, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and other building materials to markets throughout North America. Today, as a part of HeidelbergCement, our reach and capabilities are more extensive than ever, and our brightest days are still ahead. Lehigh Cement Company began as a single-mill operation in Ormrod, Pennsylvania, producing Portland cement. As the demand for concrete increased in the early 1900’s, the company thrived. Over the years, a strategy of acquisitions, modernization and increased productivity propelled the company to the position of one of North America’s leading providers of cement and construction materials. In 1977, HeidelbergCement, one of the world’s leading producers of cement and ready mixed concrete, established a presence in the United States with the acquisition of the Lehigh Cement Company. In 2018, the Lehigh and Hanson business units in North America are collectively known as Lehigh Hanson, Inc. The company has the capacity and geographic footprint to supply construction materials in key markets throughout the United States and Canada.” https://www.lehighhanson.com/about/history
Call Before You Dig
“Never guess where a pipeline is located. Call before you dig, because even relatively minor excavation activities like landscaping or fencing can cause damage to a pipeline, its protective casing, and/or buried utility lines. Always contact your state One-Call Center before engaging in any construction or digging activities on your property. In fact, most serious damage done to pipelines is done when a third party inadvertently excavates, blasts, or drills within a pipeline right-of-way. Once the One-Call Center has been contacted, local pipeline and utility operators will come out to locate and properly mark their pipelines and utilities at your proposed excavation site to ensure that your digging will not interfere with the safe operation of the pipelines and utilities. By respecting the marked area and digging carefully, you’re helping to ensure public and environmental safety for you and your community. In Oklahoma, all it takes is a free call to the Okie One-Call Center at (800) 522-OKIE or 811 at least 48 hours before starting any work.” https://www.midshippipeline.com/safety/
