Speed Fab-Crete is NPCA Plant Certificed
Speed Fab-Crete has added to its credentials as a Fort Worth, Texas-based precast concrete producer by recent acceptance as a member of the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA) and its certification of the firm's plant.
NPCA is a trade and certification organization, founded in 1965, to represent manufacturers of plant produced, precast concrete products and companies which provide equipment, supplies and services to make such products.
Speed Fab-Crete is the oldest, continually operating precast concrete products manufacturer in the Southwest. The plant certification is national recognition of a precast concrete business, which achieves a high degree of excellence in facilities, production, processes and quality control operations.
Speed Fab-Crete's Vice-President of Plant Operations, Carl Hall, said, "Such plant certifications give extra value and benefit to building customers without adding to the cost of the job." He noted, "NCPA is another elite group of industry leaders who promote use of precast concrete to project specifiers, engineers, developers, Department of Transportation officials and other public work officials." Hall added, "For the customer, selecting a supplier from NCPA's membership assures the highest quality of precast concrete in North America."
Speed Fab-Crete is APA Plant Certified
Another organization of precast companies, the Architectural Precast Association (APA), also certifies Speed Fab-Crete's plant. APA's members assure that architectural building products faithfully reflect plans by the architect.
Speed Fab-Crete also performs as a general contractor. Its plant is capable of fabricating and pouring a variety of precast concrete units, including walls for a building's exterior, modular arched bridges for public and private applications, highway retaining walls, monument signs, recreational tables and benches, and parking lot wheel stops. The bridges and retaining walls meet TXDOT specifications.
What is Speed Fab-Crete?
SPEED... The key word to our product because the total building system process -- from conception to erection -- is organized to "fast track" the job, resulting in various savings to the customer, especially interim financing.
FAB... Our precast load-bearing wall panels are custom-fabricated daily at our plant in any size, shape, or form by the same experienced technicians. Panels can be manufactured with steel door jambs, electrical conduit, door canopies, and windows cast in the wall units. This unique method of quality control minimizes labor problems, material costs, waste pilferage, and delay at the job site, producing savings.
CRETE... The concrete in our structural wall panels is a special, proven mix of lightweight aggregate, which reduces shipping costs, lessens foundation requirements, and cuts energy costs. Other advantages of the concrete wall system are lower fire and storm insurance premiums, durability, security, minimum maintenance, and easy expansion.
