Learn about the Precast Concrete Manufacturing and Installation Process
Precast concrete is made by pouring concrete into reusable moulds, curing it, and then transporting it for installation. The moulds are typically made from steel, wood, or other materials that can withstand the pressure of wet concrete.​
​
​Precast concrete manufacturers produce a wide range of products, including septic tanks, water tanks, cisterns, oil separators, well casings, manhole covers, light basins, and custom decorative work. We have the expertise and equipment needed to produce high-quality precast concrete products that meet the specific needs of your construction projects.
The process of precasting concrete involves several steps, including:
​
-
Design: We work with engineers to design the product to meet the project's specifications.
-
Moulding: The mould is created based on the design, and the concrete is poured into the mould.
-
Curing: The concrete is left to cure and harden in the mould, which can take several days.
-
Finishing: Once the concrete has cured, the product is removed from the mould, and any finishing touches, such as smoothing or texturing, are applied.
-
Transport and installation: The precast concrete product is transported to the construction site and installed using specialized equipment and techniques.
​
Precast concrete products offer several advantages over traditional cast-in-place concrete, including faster installation, better quality control, and reduced on-site construction time. There are also numerous advantages over plastic products, such as durability, strength, and stability. Precast concrete companies play a crucial role in the construction industry by providing high-quality precast concrete products that meet the specific needs of construction projects.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Great Experience
i had a great experience in dealing with Dans Precast. i had to lift and move a septic tank to a lower level and the whole process went very smooth. The driver (cliff i believe) was very professional, thoughtful and friendly and very easy to deal with .
i had to coordinate the lift after i had pumped the tank. Ernie (in the office) was able to coordinate a lift time that worked out for all of us.
i will use Dans Septic in the future for sure. do not hesitate to call, they have a newer crane truck that can lift all kinds of things...just call them and talk to them about your needs....Great job and thank you again, jim
