Manufacturing Process

Concrete pipe, boxes, and many manhole products are produced using the dry cast method, which uses zero slump concrete and vibration to produce a dense, durable concrete.  This process allows the product to be removed from the forms after the concrete has been consolidated.


Reinforcing cages are produced on automated cage welding machines to ensure tight tolerances for our engineered products.

Some manhole products and custom pieces are produced with the wet cast process, which is like typical concrete construction, where a regular concrete is used with a set form to manufacture the product.
