The Precast Group

The Precast Group brings together the operations of Central Precast, M CON Products, and Utility Structures. The group offers precast concrete products through contacts in the Ottawa area. Its businesses provide channels for discussing construction and utility components, connecting product selection with installation and supply requirements. Selecting these materials is part of a system-level decision: appearance, dimensions, and application need to be considered alongside the substrate, junctions, and installation conditions shown in the construction details for a proposed building or renovation project.

Specification requires identifying the application, substrate, and product configuration alongside its appearance. Dimensions, joints, attachments, and surface preparation need coordination with construction details; reviewing documentation for the selected line helps distinguish visually similar products intended for different service conditions within a particular building or renovation project.

Comparing alternatives requires identifying the specific product and the assembly where it will be installed. Dimensions, finishes, and exposure conditions need coordination with the design, while availability and supply channels are established for the project location and the quantities actually proposed for use in the construction work.
