In addition to the Eagle Street Industrial Park, PreCon was busy with a host of projects, includ- ing the Waubuno Creek Bridge rehabilitation in London, Ontario. For that job, the company's dedi- cated field crew oversaw the erection of 16 sections of B500 x 1220mm wide prestressed concrete box girders utilizing a 220-ton crane. Also, the reha- bilitation of Oxford County Bridge 784064 saw the staging and installation of CPCI 900 I-girders that were produced in the company's Woodstock, Ontario facility. PreCon is also well known for its precast panels, which are available as complete wall systems with insulation and finished interior surfaces, or as exte- rior cladding. Another highly sought-after product is PreCon's unique precast, prestressed insulated con- crete wall, Flexwall, which is a complete wall system, both inside and out. Flexwall panels feature attractive ribbed exteriors and smooth, steel-formed finished interior surfaces that require no extra finishing. Lafarge Canada Inc., a member of Holcim Group, recently expanded into the precast wall panel construction market with the City of Calgary's Noise Barrier Retrofit Program Group 1 Project. This proj- ect marks Lafarge's expansion beyond precast noise wall panel fabrication into full-scale noise barrier construction, reinforcing its infrastructure solu- tions and demonstrating its ability to meet evolving urban needs. "We're not just supplying sound walls, we're actively building the infrastructure that enhances community well-being," says Leroy Geale, senior project manager, GCA Construction. The Noise Barrier Retrofit Group 1 Project is a key initiative in Calgary's strategy to mitigate road traf- fic noise. Lafarge will replace and upgrade outdated noise barriers in targeted areas, thereby assuming the tasks of design, material supply, manufacturing, and installation. lmsgroup.ca Alberta | British COlumbia | CALIFORNIA THE LEADERS IN REBAR & POST TENSIONING FABRICATION & INSTALLATION SINCE 1987
