The Stamp

Our patented imprinting process lets us provide any surface texture on both sides of the panels. The stamp rolls into position over the form and lowers its heavy embossing plate. One time back and forth, the curved plate rocks the texture of it's rubber surface into the wet concrete. The rocking motion squeezes out the air, avoiding suction that can damage both the texture of the panel and the integrity of the concrete.

Then the plate lifts, and the stamp moves to the next section.

Every day we pour a new set of panels. Every day we strip a new set from their forms and set them on the racks to cure. Our process is new. Our process is fast. Give us a week and we can start delivering 20 precast panels a day. Give us a month to design custom forms and that number can grow to 100 a day........every day.

Factory Process

  1. Drop - Once the forms have been prepared, the first cart to roll over the casting stations carries the rebar. The reinforcing steel skeletons are dropped into place and secured.
  2. Pour - Concrete mixers move slowly along both sides of the platform, pouring their contents into the forms. The concrete is raked and vibrated down into the spaces between the ribs of the reinforcement structure.
  3. Imprint - A patented method for stamping the texture on the reverse side is the crux of our process. After the concrete has leveled and coloring agent is applied across its skin, our unique imprinting mechanism stamps a pattern into the wet surface.
  4. Pull - The following morning forklifts pull the steam-curved units from their forms and haul them to the painting stations or the stockpile where they await shipping.

The forms are cleaned and reconfigured for that days pour.
