Construction materials are increasingly judged by their ecological characteristics. Concrete recycling gains importance because it protects natural resources and eliminates the need for disposal by using the readily available concrete as an aggregate source for new concrete or other applications.
Garrett ECI can substitute many construction materials with recycled concrete or asphalt. These materials are of equal, or better, quality than virgin aggregates and can be supplied at a lower cost than virgin materials.
Go Green! Garrett ECI can help your project reach the recycled material goals required by LEED.
Whether it is from disposal at our Recycling Facility or by completing the recycling process through buying our MDOT approved concrete Flexible Base, Garrett ECI can help. Garrett ECI provides the construction industry significant economic and environmental benefits by recycling clean concrete rubble into MDOT Grade rock materials. By using crushed concrete products, anyone from homeowners, to landscapers, to general contractors, can help reduce landfilled concrete waste, conserve natural resources, and gain significant economic savings on materials and disposal costs.

For twenty years the City of Jackson had been working with the residents in a low and moderate income neighborhood along Eubanks Creek to find funding for a drainage improvement project. The community has experienced severe flooding, erosion, and loss of property due to the increase of water volume from increased residential and commercial development.
The stabilization method used for the additional work will extend the original design method utilizing gabion baskets and rock rip-rap. The estimated quantities for the additional work was be 2,000 cubic yards of gabion basket structures, 5,000 tons of rock rip-rap, and 10,000 square yards of geotextile filter fabric. Garrett ECI also replaced four underground culverts with new reinforced concrete culverts and concrete box culverts.
The effect on the environment at the work site was minimal, with little disturbance of natural soils, vegetation and wildlife within the Eubanks Creek watershed. The overall environment of the area and even downstream to the Pearl River has now been improved. The improvements have stabilized the embankments, minimized erosion, and sediment discharge downstream into the Pearl River Basin.
Garrett ECI’s work on Eubanks Creek has also lessened the amount of maintenance cost the City has to spend on manpower to cut and clean the channel flowline and to spray for weeds on the embankment.

The Pinnacle at Jackson Place is a 9-story, 192,000 sq ft office building to be constructed in the central business district of Jackson, MS. Pinnacle is the foundation of the renovation of the entire block. The block within the borders of Lamar, Capitol, Farish and Amite Streets will be transformed into a major urban center known as Jackson Place.
Climate-controlled corridors and walking spaces will connect The Pinnacle to the adjacent One Jackson Place building, customer parking, shops and residential properties. The Pinnacle will feature a prominent sculpture depicting a theme of local significance. A water feature will be located in the area connecting the new building and One Jackson Place. Landscape architects will design The Gardens at Jackson Place, a special garden area that will be located at the center of Jackson Place. The garden will feature an assortment of foliage and flowers along with walkways and seating areas. Nationally acclaimed security and lighting consultants will assist master planners in maximizing safety and aesthetics.
Pinnacle will be considered a Class A building in the local market. Tenants who have already signed leases include two prominent local law firms, a regional bank and a REIT with its headquarters in Jackson, MS.
A large number of temporary construction jobs will be created during the construction period. The project expects that between 50-75 full time jobs will be created by the specific requirements of operating the building such as landscaping, janitorial, maintenance, security, and catering.
A large number of jobs will be attracted to the central business district by the tenants of the office space. The retention of jobs in the CBD will help to maintain profitability at other support businesses in the area and alleviate the flight of companies from the CBD area. Additionally, the requirements surrounding the buildings construction will directly employee minority owned businesses as dictated by an agreement with the Jackson Redevelopment Authority, from whom the land for the project was purchased.
