S&P Celebrates Omnisource Ribbon Cutting
Satterfield & Pontikes Construction (S&P) was proud to join OmniSource leadership, Steel Dynamics representatives, City of Dayton officials, and project partners at the ribbon cutting for the OmniSource Metal Recycling Facility in Dayton, Texas. The event marked a major milestone as the project moved from construction into equipment startup and operations following several years of planning and development. As OmniSource Vice President of Operations Jerry Andrews shared during the ceremony, “It’s taken us about five to six years to get to this point, and seeing it come together today is incredibly rewarding.”
Located within the 2,400‑acre Gulf Inland Logistics Park, the 150,000‑square‑foot, rail‑served facility was delivered on a 55‑acre site and designed to support high‑volume scrap metal processing along the Gulf Coast. During the ceremony, OmniSource leadership emphasized the strategic importance of the location, noting, “With the location, rail access, and room to grow, this site was exactly what we were looking for to support long‑term growth and become part of the community.”
The campus represents OmniSource’s first major greenfield capital project in more than 20 years and a significant investment in the region. Speakers highlighted the company’s long‑term commitment to Dayton, with plans already in place to expand beyond the 35 acres currently developed as operations continue to ramp up. “This is just the first phase of what we see as continued investment here,” said OmniSource President Matt Bell.
Satterfield & Pontikes Construction delivered the multi‑phase facility, which includes four pre‑engineered metal buildings, approximately 30 acres of roller‑compacted concrete paving, specialized equipment foundations, truck scales, and dedicated concrete dump lanes. Central to the operation is a 500,000‑pound metal shredder, supported by a robust structural and concrete foundation system, an extensive conveyor network, and fully integrated civil and electrical infrastructure designed to accommodate phased startup and future throughput expansion. Bell emphasized the critical role of the shredder and supporting systems, noting, “This facility plays a key role in how we supply our mills and build a more efficient, vertically integrated operation.”
Beyond the facility itself, OmniSource leaders underscored the project’s impact on the local community. “We’re excited to hire from this community and build something that lasts,” Andrews said, expressing appreciation for the City of Dayton and Liberty County’s partnership throughout the development process.
Congratulations to the OmniSource team on reaching this milestone and entering the next phase of operations at their new Dayton facility.
