We also work with developers on multifamily and apartment communities, where our underlayment division installs sound mat and Levelrock® gypsum flooring to reduce noise and meet fire code requirements.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
In June 2023, the collapse of I-95 at the Cottman Avenue ramp in Northeast Philadelphia shut down one of the busiest stretches of highway in the country, impacting nearly 160,000 vehicles each day. PennDOT and its partners launched an emergency rebuild that relied on 2,000 tons of lightweight recycled glass aggregate to construct a temporary six-lane embankment to reopen the roadway.
J.M. Pereira & Sons played a critical role in this effort. Partnering with Buckley & Company, we deployed our telebelt fleet to the site to convey this specialized aggregate quickly, safely and with precision. Unlike conventional placement methods, our telebelts enabled crews to handle massive volumes of material at a steady pace, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring that work advanced without interruption. Our operators worked extended 12-hour shifts through the Father’s Day weekend, a testament to their dedication and professionalism in the face of urgency.
By leveraging modern equipment, skilled operators and a safety-first mindset, J.M. Pereira & Sons directly supported round-the-clock construction efforts that rebuilt the embankment and allowed traffic to resume in just 12 days, a remarkable achievement by any standard.
CREATIVE SOLUTION
Since 2008, J.M. Pereira & Sons Inc. has partnered with USG to deliver performance gypsum underlayment flooring services. With innovation in mind, in 2020 we customized a traditional mixing truck to blend products internally and convey them directly to pump equipment when pouring gypsum. This modified truck established new safety standards by minimizing accidents, reducing airborne silica and creating a dust-free environment. Automated mixing eliminated the need for workers to break bags outside in extreme conditions, while ensuring perfect PSI consistency. The process saved two to three working days per job and reduced costly delays for developers and contractors. J.M. Pereira & Sons continues to expand its fleet of custom-built gypsum mixing trucks, each capable of pouring up to 30,000 square feet in a single day.
