PROJECT: Pinnacle Casino – St. Louis

Owner: Pinnacle Entertainment 
General Contractor: McCarthy
Concrete Contractor:  Vee-Jay Cement  

With extensive experience in lightweight concrete production, Raineri was called upon to supply the keel slab medium-lightweight concrete.  Due to the size of the placement, logistics of material, and weather constraints Raineri teamed up with another company to supply a total of 1,800 cubic yards of concrete. Raineri was the lead supplier developing all mix designs and through stringent quality control measures, both companies were able to set 3 lightweight concrete production records in one day. According to our lightweight aggregate representative Brian Powers,  this was at the time, the largest single lightweight pour, the largest single lightweight post tension pour, and largest single post tension lightweight keel slab pour in history.
