COLUMBIA, SC / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2024 / Smith-Midland Corporation (NASDAQ: SMID), a provider of innovative, high-quality proprietary and patented precast concrete products and systems, has been awarded a new $7.5 million precast concrete noise wall contract for a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) project.

Smith-Midland South Carolina will manufacture more than 4,700 precast noise wall panels, with an Ashlar stone finish on both sides, for the I-285/I-20 interchange project, which is well known for having some of the worst traffic congestion in the country. Per GDOT, "The Project is part of Georgia DOT's Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP), which includes large-scale projects that will build a better Georgia by enhancing mobility and safety, fueling economic growth, and improving Georgians' quality of life. The I-285/I-20 East Interchange Project will improve traffic flow and safety at the busy I-285/I-20 East Interchange in DeKalb County."

The precast concrete noise walls that Smith-Midland is producing for the project will help reduce overall noise levels for neighboring homes and businesses along that route just east of Atlanta.

"This contract represents one of the largest noise wall projects in our company's history. The new batch plant at our South Carolina plant is ready to deliver and we look forward to securing future projects of this caliber," said Matthew Smith, VP of Sales and Marketing, Smith-Midland Corporation.

Smith-Midland South Carolina originated in 2016 when Smith-Midland Corporation expanded its operations to Columbia, South Carolina to better serve customers across the southeastern market.
