August 18, 2004 POWELL, Ohio – Foor Concrete Company Inc., a full-service concrete construction company specializing in industrial, commercial, retail and institutional construction in central Ohio, was recently named a 2003 top 100 concrete company in the country by Concrete Construction magazine. Foor Concrete was also recognized as one of the nation’s fastest-growing concrete construction companies. At $7.4 million in 2003 revenues, Foor Concrete ranked 92 on the “Concrete Construction 100” list featured in the July issue. The list was determined by concrete revenue.

Everyone in the organization from the estimators, the office staff, the guys in the shop to the field foremen and all the guys in the field made this possible. This company attitude is what fuels our growth,” said Foor, Jr. Foor Concrete completed 50 projects in 2003. The majority of the company’s work was comprised of site work including curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and commercial slabs on grade and foundation, with a smaller number of cast-in-place, structural, above-grade commercial construction projects. Some recognizable projects by Foor Concrete include the footings, dock retaining walls, dock slabs, sidewalks and concrete paving for the Whitehall Target store and the parking garage at Brewers Gate Apartment Complex, which involved pouring more than 5,950 linear feet of footings.
