Precast concrete is a high performance material that integrates easily with other systems and inherently provides the versatility, efficiency, resiliency, and durability needed to meet the multi-hazard requirements and long-term demands of high performance structures.
When designing total precast structures or simply using precast cladding components, our precast concrete products offer important advantages over other building systems and provide endless architectural and engineering design opportunities.

Flexible Layouts
Because of the inherent advantages of prestressed products, precast deck systems can be optimized for longer spans allowing for open plans.
Virtually Unlimited Options
Precast provides infinite choices for color, texture, and form.
Dual Role
Architectural walls, spandrels, and columns can also be used as load bearing elements, creating more efficient structures by eliminating redundant structure.
Accelerated Construction
While site work, utilities, and foundations are being constructed, precast components can be designed and fabricated, ready for installation as soon as the site is prepared.
Year Round Production
Precast concrete is fabricated and erected year-round avoiding costly weather delays that other systems can experience.
Performance
The use of precast consistently exceeds schedule milestones through diligent project management, rapid rate of delivery, and on-site erection.
Safety and Security
Precast possesses outstanding fire resistance and impact/blast resistance.
Environmentally Friendly
Retains high thermal efficiency, uses recycled materials, and less construction is wasted during production of precast over other systems.
Quiet
Precast also provides outstanding sound insulation and acoustic isolation.
Durable
Superior resistance to abuse from impact, soil, mold, mildew, chemicals, and UV exposure.
Economical
Long life expectancy with low maintenance and life cycle costs.
Consistent Results
Boasts accurately controlled concrete batching and quality controlled fabrication under factory conditions, and produces consistently high quality and high strength precast concrete members.
Certified Quality
Our plants are PCI Certified and production is monitored by PCI Certified quality control inspectors.
Greater impermeability and strength
Concrete mixes with low water/cement ratios and immediate placement of concrete yield higher strength mixes in excess of 5000 psi.
Precisely controlled air entrainment and curing procedures result in reduced cracking and surface scaling.
