The Beartooth Ravine Bridge project required crews to construct a major new bridge in an exceptionally remote and demanding environment.

 

Located along Wyoming’s Beartooth Highway at approximately 10,000 feet above sea level, the site presented limited access, unpredictable weather, restricted staging space and a short seasonal construction window.

​

Mix Right portable concrete equipment helped support on-site production so crews could maintain greater control over concrete availability, timing and consistency throughout the project.

​

Concrete Production in Extreme Terrain

 

The Beartooth Highway crosses some of the most rugged alpine terrain in the United States. Construction materials and equipment had to travel to the project through the highway itself, with no convenient alternate access to the worksite.

​

Weather conditions could change quickly, and construction activity had to be coordinated around traffic restrictions, seasonal access and limited space.

​

In an environment like this, relying entirely on concrete transported from a distant plant can create additional scheduling and logistical risk. Producing concrete closer to the work area gave the project team greater flexibility to coordinate production with active construction operations.

​

The Mix Right Equipment on Site

 

The project used a Mix Right 2CL-24-2 portable concrete batching plant alongside a 7SL-120 portable cement silo.

​

2CL-24-2 Portable Concrete Batch Plant

 

The computer-automated 2CL-24-2 features:

• Double-bin capacity of more than 24 cubic yards

• Production capacity of approximately 80 to 100 cubic yards per hour

• Automated control of sand, rock, cement and water

• Programmable concrete mix designs

• Accurate weighing for repeatable batches

• Adjustable loading conveyor configurations

• Portable construction for remote and temporary jobsites

 

7SL-120 Portable Cement Silo

 

The 7SL-120 provides:

• 55 tons of portable cement storage

• High-capacity cement delivery

• Hydraulic auger operation

• Optional weighing and automated controls

• A portable configuration designed for remote batching applications
   

Together, the batch plant and silo created an on-site concrete production system capable of supporting work far from a conventional ready-mix facility.

​

Greater Control at a Remote Jobsite

 

For complex infrastructure projects, portable batching equipment can help project teams:

​

• Produce concrete closer to the point of use

• Coordinate batches with changing construction schedules

• Reduce dependence on long ready-mix delivery routes

• Maintain greater control over mix design and consistency

• Support truck mixers and concrete pumping operations

• Adapt production to weather, access and jobsite conditions

 

The equipment shown here was positioned directly within the remote project area and supported concrete operations during construction of the bridge.

​

Built for Work Beyond the Beaten Path

 

The Beartooth Ravine Bridge was completed in 2022, improving safety and travel along one of America’s most celebrated scenic highways.

​

The completed bridge also created safer wildlife passage beneath the roadway and marked the final major reconstruction project along the historic Beartooth Highway.

​

Mix Right is proud that equipment designed and manufactured in Lindon, Utah played a supporting role in bringing this major infrastructure project to completion.
