  Teal Jones Sawmill

  

  WIELAND is making significant progress on the Teal Jones Sawmill in Plain Dealing, LA. The mill, which will be housed within 138,000 SF of buildings on a 200+ acre site just north of Shreveport, was originally operational in Canada before being disassembled and transported by truck to LA. Once completed, the mill is projected to produce 300M board feet of specialized lumber annually. Additionally, the byproducts from the lumber will be sold to pulp and pellet plants. Construction began in January 2022, with completion anticipated this fall.

  Sofidel

  

  Construction is progressing rapidly on the Sofidel project in Circleville, OH. Sofidel, a global tissue company headquartered in Italy, has invested $185M to expand its operations with a 500,000 SF addition. The original facility, which opened in 2018, experienced a surge in demand for Sofidel’s tissue products during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, leading to the need for expansion. WIELAND started construction in Q1 2024 and is expected to complete the 500,000 SF expansion in Q1 2025.

  Arq Concrete Pour

  

  Another day, another concrete pour in Louisiana! This time, the WIELAND team gathered for another early morning at the Arq, Inc. facility expansion in Coushatta, LA. Founded in 1997, ADA and Advanced Emissions Solutions (ADES) would later buy the Coushatta plant, which still is the largest and most automated carbon manufacturing facility in North America. In 2023, ADA acquired Arq and rebranded as Arq. Inc., a global leader in environmental technology and sustainability.

  The foundation of the new facility totaled 1,090 yds of concrete, serving as the base for a 98-ton steel tower to be placed later. WIELAND began work on the project in January and is set to complete the facility in early 2025.
