Thalle pitches in after NY storms

Briarcliff Manor, New York-based Thalle Industries says it recently played a role in providing emergency building materials to fix damage from severe flooding in the Hudson River valley region of New York state.

The company says it has been supplying construction material for emergency repairs at Bear Mountain State Park and Route 9W in Fort Montgomery, New York, both of which closed after sustaining significant damage from a storm during the second week of July. That storm dumped about eight inches of rain in parts of the Hudson Valley, according to Thalle.

The company says its delivery of rock products has risen significantly since the storm hit the region.

“Our employees at our Fishkill [New York] quarry and asphalt plant are starting their shifts earlier and working later to accommodate orders for rock and asphalt to restore damaged roads,” says Glenn Pacchiana, president and CEO of Thalle Industries. “We pride ourselves on quick response times for clients, so we are able to respond to emergency requests within a few hours.”

Thalle Industries describes itself as an environmentally responsible supplier of high-quality virgin and recycled aggregates, asphalt products and brownfield fill for the construction industry. The company operates a quarry and asphalt plant in Fishkill, a Virtual Quarry recycling center in Elmsford, New York, and a ready-mix concrete and Virtual Quarry at its new Dakota Concrete facility in Montrose, New York.

On Sunday, July 16, Thalle says it responded to an emergency request pertaining to Route 35 in Yorktown, New York, where a water main break damaged and closed the thoroughfare. With an emergency delivery of 22 tons of asphalt from Thalle’s Fishkill plant, the road reopened in less than 24 hours.

Thalle was able to fill the emergency order at its 350-tons-per-hour asphalt plant in Fishkill in part because during the previous winter the company upgraded the asphalt plant with new burner and silo technologies. During the height of the paving season, the plant can load pavement trailers and trucks within three minutes, says the company.

“I want to thank Thalle Industries for their rapid response that allowed our crews to repave the damaged parts of Route 35 the same day we discovered the water main break,” says Yorktown Town Supervisor Tom Diana.
