In this episode of Drilling Deeper, Kevin Yanik and Jack Kopanski team up for a deep dive into the nation’s No. 1 aggregate–producing state: Texas. This week’s guest, Rich Szecsy, CEO of Big Town Concrete and chair of the Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association, offers an inside look at the unprecedented growth fueling demand for construction materials across the Lone Star State.
Szecsy explains how Texas’s surging population, robust infrastructure investment and business-friendly climate are creating incredible opportunities and unique challenges for producers.
The conversation covers everything from sustainably meeting skyrocketing demand to navigating regulation, workforce development and technology adoption – including automation, AI and digitalization.
This episode captures how Texas is setting the pace for aggregates and concrete production nationwide, and how producers can keep up in one of the fastest-growing construction markets in the world.
