Thalle supplies construction projects in New York’s Hudson Valley

High-profile construction projects in New York’s Hudson Valley are receiving asphalt, concrete rock and other quarry products from Thalle Industries.

“From the Indian Point power plant to the West Point academy, our products are critical to many of the region’s most important projects,” says Glenn Pacchiana, Thalle Industries’ president and CEO. “We supply locally sourced and produced construction materials that help our customers reduce their carbon footprint by reducing transportation costs.”

Thalle Industries is a supplier of virgin and recycled aggregate, asphalt products and brownfield fill for the construction industry. Thalle produces asphalt and virgin stone products at its Fishkill, New York quarry; ready-mix concrete and recycled stone at its Dakota Concrete site in Montrose; and recycled stone at its Virtual Quarry in Elmsford, New York.

Thalle’s high-profile projects this summer include:

• U.S. Military Academy at West Point: As part of a 17-year academic building upgrade program, West Point will modernize eight facilities that are between 50 and 110 years old. Dakota Concrete provides West Point contractors with concrete.
• Indian Point Energy Center: Holtec is working on a 12- to 15-year decommissioning program at the former nuclear power plant in Buchannan. Dakota Concrete is a supplier.
• Beacon Station: Work at Metro-North’s Beacon Station includes the renovation of a passenger platform. Dakota Concrete is a supplier.
• Route 9: Thalle delivered 34,000 tons of asphalt to ELQ Industries starting in mid-April for the repaving project along Route 9 near Poughkeepsie.
• Frito-Lay: The consumer products corporation is building a new $100 million fulfillment center in East Fishkill. The complex will serve as a distribution warehouse serving customers in the New York metro market. Thalle provides asphalt for the parking lot.

Thalle Industries’ ability to deliver concrete to some of the Hudson Valley’s major projects is due to the recent opening of Dakota Concrete at 2099 Albany Post Road in Montrose, the company says. Dakota Concrete also has a new Virtual Quarry recycling center, which will give customers from Putnam and southern Dutchess counties a new recycling option.

Over the winter, Thalle Industries upgraded its 350-tons-per-hour asphalt plant with the latest burner and silo technologies. During the height of the paving season, the plant can load pavement trailers and trucks within three minutes.
