On November 21, 2019, Dr. Chris Mullen from Ole Miss and seven of his prestressed concrete design class students made a trip to J.J. Ferguson in Greenwood, MS to tour their precast plant. The class spent the majority of the day with Mike Jones learning the basic processes of the prestress-precast industry from the planning phase through the quality control phase and into the final inspection of the product before shipment to the customer. Christy Powell, President of J.J. Ferguson, stated she was encouraged by how bright and inquisitive the students were and is hopeful for the future of the concrete industry. PCI Gulf South producer members play a vital role in supporting the education of our future industry leaders and university instructors are grateful to our producers for taking time to share their industry expertise with the students.
