Holcim/Dundee Cement

(Satellite)

Street View, Oct 2022

Viv Rivera posted the comment: "Is there anything about the two silos that are there by calumet fisheries? I’d like to tell my kids more about them thanks in advance!"
Steve Malachinski: The silos belonged to a cement company. They received cement by railcar and transferred it into trucks.
[Several comments identified it as the Dundee Cement Company.]
Brian McCafferty: Believe Holcim/Skyway Cement (plant on 103rd Calumet River, west bank) recently owned them. Not sure if they still do.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Brian's comment
 Evidently Holcim does currently own it. That blue truck scale was added since I was last there.  wonder if they receive cement via lake freighter and/or barges because the rail service doesn't look intact. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SKXP5RxGHzbspRSo8

An Oct 2022 street view caught a truck on that scale https://maps.app.goo.gl/nXVwmnxxGMVbvn6n9 According to other street views, the weeds were cleaned up and the scale added between Jul 2019 and Nov 2021.
