Company Quality Approach
At Garden State Precast our goal is to produce the best quality precast products which are specified for use in a wide range of applications. The precast manufactured at our facility can be seen in use by various agencies such as the NJDOT, NJTA, PANYNJ, PennDOT, as well as many others.
Our products will meet and exceed required NPCA, ACI, ASTM and AASHTO quality standards while always striving for continuous improvement. Quality is not something we take lightly at our plant. We like to think of quality as a state of mind rather than a standard.
Garden State Precast takes pride in being NPCA certified. This certification has required consistent hard-work in following their rigorous audit.
Our QC department goes through a wide range of processes to facilitate quality. Some of the operations include control over fabrication, concrete, patching, and repair. We look at our QC team as representatives of the customers, making sure we create each product as if it is being purchased by ourselves. With the responsibility of being the last department to see products before shipment, each product is sure to meet the highest standard of excellence before exiting the plant.
We make sure to utilize all tools available to us to better our quality of work. We use Titan II Precast, an online Precast Management system, which is equipped with a QC module where we can perform pre and post inspections. We use these inspections as teaching tools for our crews outside to identify working areas that may need improvement. We can then train these areas for a higher level of execution and better quality of work. Titan has also helped us implement the use of our barcoding system, where each structure has a barcode to make us more efficient for yarding and shipping.
Another tool we use are enhanced takeoffs, which gives our crews a more visual look pre-construction. These layouts are more user friendly and help us execute the jobs in a more efficient way.
Our QC team is always looking for ways to improve. Whether it is new technology, procedures, methods, or standards, we are still getting better.
