Our Parking Experience Speaks Volumes
“The team successfully and safely delivered the project in alignment with the University’s program, within budget and utilizing the team’s prefabricated systems approach, significantly faster and with significantly less campus impact than competing conventional systems. The construction impacts to our campus community were so minimal that I’ve had faculty remark to me they were surprised to see PS5 construction had started and was already complete.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do precast parking garages require more maintenance than cast‑in‑place structures?
No. Maintenance requirements are not determined by whether a parking structure is precast concrete or cast‑in‑place concrete. All parking garages require a regular maintenance plan to maintain long‑term performance and durability. However, precast parking structures can offer advantages that simplify maintenance over time.
Clark Pacific’s hybrid moment frame system is engineered for strong seismic performance and self‑centering behavior after an earthquake, which can reduce structural damage and allow a parking garage to return to service faster. Precast parking systems also allow vertical MEP routing between floors without penetrating the concrete deck, making future upgrades and repairs easier. Additionally, because the deck does not rely on post‑tensioning (PT), owners have greater flexibility for future attachments, repairs, or modifications within the structure.
Do precast parking structures leak?
Properly designed precast parking garages are engineered to control water and prevent leakage. Clark Pacific has developed proven detailing strategies that address the most common sources of water intrusion in parking structures.
These strategies include careful reinforcement design, crack control, dimensional accuracy during fabrication, and high‑quality concrete finishes. Equally important is coordination of drainage systems, deck washes, topping slab construction, and long‑term maintenance planning. When these elements work together, the parking structure can deliver long‑term durability and reliable performance.
How can architects work with Clark Pacific’s parking structure design team?
Clark Pacific works closely with architects, developers, and design teams from the early stages of a project to optimize parking structure performance, efficiency, and aesthetics. Engaging Clark Pacific early in the design process allows the team to align structural design, parking layout efficiency, and architectural goals.
Clark Pacific provides comprehensive parking consulting services, including parking layout studies, timing and exit analyses, and lighting recommendations. The team also collaborates with project architects to maintain the architectural language of the overall development. For many projects, Clark Pacific can also deliver a fully integrated design‑build solution for the parking structure(s).
How much faster can a precast parking garage be built compared to a cast‑in‑place garage?
Precast parking garages can often be delivered significantly faster than cast‑in‑place parking structures due to the efficiency of prefabrication and integrated project delivery. Clark Pacific’s in‑house design and engineering teams enable faster decision‑making, improved coordination, and better risk management throughout the project.
Because structural components are manufactured offsite while site work is underway, fabrication and construction occur in parallel. Early design coordination also allows critical elements, such as stair and elevator locations, structural systems, and long‑lead materials, to be resolved sooner and removed from the critical path. The result is a more predictable schedule and faster delivery from groundbreaking to garage completion.
