PRECAST Concrete Institute (CPCI) and the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA). “We are part of CPCI’s Sustainable Plant Program which assists us in monitoring every step of our operation to meet the high standards for sustainabil- ity.” Balfe says Armtec is always looking for ways to im- prove its carbon footprint, including seeking aggregate sources close to plants, recycling water where possible, and planning for efficient shipping methods to reduce the numbers of trucks on the road. The company also operates with a high focus on safety. “Precast concrete manufacturing and installation comes with high safety risks which we work to control and miti- gate. We want our customers to know that the precast products they use come from a safety culture as strong as what they apply to their own business.” Armtec’s drainage and precast arms operate as sepa- rate business units within the company he says, but the op- portunity for crossover on projects, and for collaboration, provides customers with robust package offerings tailored to provide them with the best combined solution. “We can be a one stop shop for clients on an array of products, for instance, a bridge from our precast business combined with stormwater solutions from our drainage unit and a noise barrier from our soundwall group.” He says the landscape of client demands and needs is always changing. To meet this challenge, all of the com- Precast Concrete Solutions pany’s engineered precast facilities have dedicated project managers, engineers, estimators and installation teams to ensure each project’s success. Engineered precast is just one piece of Armtec’s pre- cast business. The company also operates standard pre- cast and soundwall businesses. “Our Durisol and ACRYLITE noise barriers from our soundwalls group are a unique solution for absorptive, reflective, and transparent noise attenuation projects across North America.” For more information on Armtec’s products and services, visit https://www.armtec.com.
