Breeko Develops New-type Block
A fork lift operator with Breeko Industries, Inc., holds his machine steady as Howard Johnston, Breeko president, hands a new-type construction block to Darrel Drolsum, vice president, concrete products, to be delivered to a Nashville job site. The new, lightweight concrete block-which weighs one-half less than a regular block-developed by Breeko Industries is expected to make a healthy impact on the building industry in Tennessee. Marketed under the brand name "Master Block," the new process, which was evolved following the purchase of a clay mine in Alabama, weighs 19 pounds dry weight compared with 38 pounds for a regular concrete block. "It also meets the same specifications as the regular blocks," Johnston said, "in that Master Blocks have a compressive strength of 1,000 pounds per square inch with one-half the weight."
