The last couple of weeks have been “full tilt” for Archie Fishill, CEO of Eddystone-based Aero Aggregates of North America, Inc., writes Pete Bannan for the Daily Times.

Those are the guys that provided 8,000 cubic yards of glass composite to PennDOT to rebuild the collapsed section of Interstate 95.

 “It’s still adrenaline, going with the buzz of everybody working together to get that project done.”

The Eddystone plant — which employs 30 workers largely from Eddystone, Chester, and Ridley,

was able to respond to the emergency since it operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

The greater difficulty was continually transporting the composite material to the site, Fishill said.  

The Aero Aggregates’ glass composite went in four times faster than traditional fill, it’s weatherproof and lightweight to protect sewer mains under the roadway.  

Once PennDOT completes long-term repairs, the material will be removed and used elsewhere, Fishill said.

The success drew from the teamwork of the state, PennDOT, Aero and others.

“Even when we were driving the trucks up to the job site you could see people beeping and waving and cheering us on, headed up to get this built as fast as possible.”
