CONCRETE PRODUCTS
RETAINING WALLS
Precast concrete manufacturers produce a wide range of engineered earth retaining systems
designed to provide a straightforward and cost-effective solution for your next project. Issues
with wall height, right-of-way, seismic activity, drainage, quality control and aesthetics can
all be overcome with a precast concrete earth retaining system.
Precast concrete retaining systems include mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) face panels,
large precast modular blocks (PMB), segmental retaining wall (SRW) products, cantilever
walls, crib walls and post-and-panel ssystem
MANHOLES
Precast concrete manholes are an integral component of any modern sewer system. Precast
concrete manhole sections are produced in a controlled environment, thus exhibiting high
quality and uniformity. A properly designed and installed precast concrete manhole system
provides superior watertight performance and will provide the long-term solution you need.
When you need stormwater management products that can be placed, connected to the
overall system and provide decades of hassle-free service, look no further than precast
concrete. Precast concrete curb inlets and catch basins collect surface-level stormwater runoff
and divert it to underground infrastructure. Precast catch basins can be manufactured in a
variety of sizes to meet state and local standards and customized for any proje
HIGHWAY BARRIER
Precast concrete highway barriers are the go-to product for vehicular and construction worker
safety, in addition to building security. Precast concrete barriers have the unique ability to not
only realign stray vehicles but also reduce their speed. Upon impact, precast concrete barriers
partially lift the stray vehicle off the pavement, which decreases the lateral resistance force
between tires and pavement. Precast barriers can be installed in permanent or temporary
applications.

BRIDGES
Whether you want to replace a deficient structure, span a roadway or water, or create a
tunnel, precast concrete bridge components provide the perfect solution.
FOUNDATIONS
When it comes to providing moisture-free and energy-efficient living space for the home,
precast concrete foundations are your answer.
Designs vary from thin-shell precast concrete with a partially embedded metal frame to
panels with sandwich insulation and concrete headed, footers, and studs. Panels are
available in standard sizes and custom designs.
Round reinforced concrete pipe offers an impressive record of strength and performance,
making it the most economical and reliable choice for drainage materials available today.
Recommended for installations where low, moderate or severe cover and/or live load
conditions exist. Retention of shape to minimize stoppage is necessary.
This section highlights design possibilities and discusses considerations for selecting
color and texture for architectural and decorative concrete.
CONCRETE MASONRY
Concrete masonry has undergone significant change within the last decade, becoming a
more cost-effective, energy-efficient building product than ever.
CONCRETE PAVEMENT
This section describes the four types of concrete pavements and details the preparation,
placement, and curing of concrete pavements.
