From Inception to Installation

One team carries the job from the first drawing to the last piece set. Select a step to see what happens.

  1. Send your drawings to estimating. We review the scope, spans, and loads, and recommend the precast system that fits the building.

  2. Engineering and design are done in house, so every piece is drawn, detailed, and checked by the people who will make it.

  3. Pieces are cast on heated casting beds with concrete batched in a computerized indoor central mix plant, backed by our welding and carpenter shops.

  4. Our quality-control lab keeps production to the standards behind our PCI and DOT certifications.

  5. Pieces ship from Owensboro and Huber Heights to jobs within about 400 miles, sequenced for erection.

  6. We erect what we build, so the company that designed and cast the pieces also sets them on site.
