The Wells Group Ready-mix Concrete Plant
One of many.
Located on the river/South side of US Hwy 52/62/68, occupying the East corner against the William H. Harsha Ohio River Bridge.
This place has a barge transloading facility.
The ramp and platform against the fence in the left foreground is a truck scales, long enough for a tractor-trailer; the scales are more than likely Fairbanks & Morse.
The antenna on the very top is for a private channel two-way radio dispatch; I figure every vehicle and piece of equipment associated with this business has a radio, including all trucks, cars, and loaders.
Some of the dump-trucks I have driven are equipped with such a system; I could be five counties away and communicate with the dispatcher as good as if I were next door.
Look through "Projects" in the link below and you will see several examples of hmca's Concrete Pump

I don't know anyone who owns a concrete business that hasn't gotten filthy rich; I also don't know anyone who has worked in concrete very much, whether it be making it, hauling it, or pouring and finishing it, who has lived past fifty, and most don't make it past forty.

I wish these did not have the reflections and road grime, but they are what they are...
