Trenton Plant
- Products are stripped from their molds and inspected by the QC Manager
- Once products have been approved, they are labeled with the job info, ASTM STD., date, company logo, and NPCA Plant Certification LOGO
- The product is then placed into inventory and readied for shipment
- After stripping the molds, the production crew cleans and prepares the mold for reinforcing steel, lifting anchor, and any inserts required.
- Before closing the mold, the QC inspects all reinforcement, inserts, and lifting anchors for proper placement. Once approved QC gives the ok to close the molds.
- Once the molds are closed, the QC manager then inspects the mold for squares and all dimensional checks and tightness of mold. He then approves the mold to be poured
- Once approved by the QC Manger, the production crew pours the mold and consolidates the concrete
- Once the molds have been poured and consolidated, the finishing crew trowels and finish’s all exposed surfaces to the required finish for the product being produced and prepares it for curing
