August 2008 - When it comes to quality many designers and owners specify precast concrete manufactured in a Precast/ Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) certified facility. Each PCI certified plant maintains an in-depth quality control program established by PCI and based on time tested industry standards. All Oldcastle Precast Building Systems facilities are certified to meet PCI MNL-116 Standard for Quality Control of Precast and Prestressed Concrete Products including commercial and structural components. In addition, Oldcastle Precast Building Systems field crews are PCI Qualified Erectors ensuring essential safety and quality criteria at the jobsite. Oldcastle’s Baltimore, MD facility is now certified to meet PCI MNL-117 Standard for Quality Control of Architectural Precast Concrete.
