Rotec Industries INDUSTRY AND DEDICATION Rotec Industries is a pioneer in construction
By: Kelley White
Industry moves forward with the driving force of the fundamental elements in construction. Without electricity and wiring, a building wouldn’t have power and internet. Without plumbing and pipes, workers and employees wouldn’t have access to fresh water and cleanliness. Rotec, a concrete contractor based out of Hampshire, is a force to be reckoned with in the concrete placing realm of contracting.
Specialization in Concrete
Placement & Service
Rotec specializes in coming to solutions that work for their clients from equipment purchasing to helping plan the logistics of a project such as worker necessity, cost and scheduling. Specialists help identify concrete placing issues on a wide spectrum of structure scale, and streamline the process to fix the issues at a lower cost and more efficient timeline.
According to Rotec’s homepage, the company focuses on designing “complete systems for a large-scale project,” engineering “individual products and complete systems,” manufacturing “custom and high capacity equipment,” installing and delivering service equipment and renting, selling or leasing their equipment.
Products & Brands
These are just some of the brands and major equipment Rotec utilizes and specializes in the field.
Roller Compacted Concrete
With this particular equipment used in dam construction, Rotec continues “developing various conveyor systems capable of meeting the ever growing demands of engineers and contractors.” Their designed conveyor system has been widely used throughout the world for many RCC dams.
Creter Cranes
This crane is most often used for exact accuracy and hard access mass concrete placement. These cranes can place gravel, backfill and sand, reaching angles and placing speeds that are truly impressive.
Towerbelt
This system is used mainly for bigger civil projects and dams. The system places virtually any sort of concrete “at 780 meters cubed per hour” capacities.
Conveyor Systems
One of Rotec’s main contributions to construction is their “pioneered” conveyor system including Port-o-Belt Conveyors, Type 2A Conveyors and Magnum Conveyors.
Commitment to Excellence
Each piece of equipment has been utilized with the utmost efficiency and attention to detail. Rotec is not a company that completes their contracts halfway. As a “worldwide leader in concrete placing systems,” their reputation precedes them. Rotec is also a company looking toward the future of construction and concrete placement. As their website clearly states:
“The future of Rotec lies in refining the equipment we already have and a dedication to advance new ideas for the construction industry. The utilization of each Rotec concrete placing system, either individually, or combined, can achieve promising results for your project.” he year 2022 was the year that projects planned for years, even decades, came together. The majority of funding for these projects came from state and federal grants. Streetscape was completed early in July providing the Festival Block as a home for many new and renewed events. Hampshire welcomed new businesses: Hampshire Social, Alfono’s Italian Eatery, El Chido’s Food Truck Business and Garden Berry. Keep an eye out for more to come this spring. We all know spring is here when Chick-N-Dip opens for the season, and James Motors celebrated 80 years in Hampshire. Thanks to the Hampshire Area Chamber of Commerce, new members and longtime members, for their contribution to our community.
This is a company worthwhile knowing and a company who will do the job right.
The Hampshire Police Department welcomes Chief Doug Pann. He replaced Chief Brian Thompson, who retired in 2022 after 41 years with the department. Chief Pann comes to the village from Rockford where he was deputy chief, and he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. The Hampshire Police Department will become the Regional Training Resource Center for the Chicago Metro Area, thanks to a federal grant for the department’s new Virtual Reality Training Center, the first one of its kind in Illinois.
The Village Board continues its commitment to improving technology in 2023 with the implementation of new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, improving services to our residents, and efficiency of staff time.
