Integrated design, bottom-line benefits.

Owners, developers, architects and contractors all benefit from using precast, prestressed concrete components to design and build parking structures. Throughout the country, thousands of precast structures are parking millions of cars, with some of the largest structures ever built being created from precast design.

A few reasons why

Environmental Friendliness

As communities demand more open green space around developments and concerns rise over water conservation, the need grows for more tiered parking. Precast concrete components address these demands in a cost-efficient way that fits perfectly with tight construction timetables and budgets, all while minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment.

Safety & Security

The use of new framing techniques helps designers create light, bright interiors that can completely eliminate shadowy spaces, thus increasing intrinsic security for users.

Aesthetic Variation

Precast concrete can be used to mimic a variety of much more costly facing materials, including limestone, sandstone, brick and terra cotta. This allows the structure to more readily and cost-effectively blend with its neighborhood if needed. The addition of decorative details can add visual interest and reduce the structure's visual mass, creating a community-friendly facility.

Fast, All-Weather Construction

Precast's ability to begin casting prior to or during foundation and site work speeds up construction and reduces the amount of on-site labor. This higher quality factory production also ensures manufacturing and erection remain unaffected by harsh weather, eliminating much of the cushion required in schedules for potential delays.

Design Flexibility

Precast concrete offers long, clear spans and compression strengths far above typical expectations. Coupled with Clark Pacific's Precast Hybrid Moment Frame system, parking structures (especially those designed for essential services) can meet and exceed seismic code requirements, and are designed for immediate re-occupancy after seismic events. These precast benefits accrue to parking structures of all sizes and locations.

Quality CONTROL

Clark Pacific is a PCI-certified plant and we adhere to the comprehensive quality control procedures. An added benefit of precast construction is the inherent increased durability that minimizes the need for continuous on-site inspections and costly long-term maintenance.
