Hanson Pipe & Precast, a leader in the concrete pipe industry, announced that the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA) has certified its
LaPlace, La. facility. The certification recognizes the facility as a precast concrete manufacturing plant operating at the highest standards of production and quality control.
The NPCA established its national Plant Certification program more than 20 years ago to ensure consistent industry benchmarks and excellence among precast operations. In order to achieve the certification participants must pass initial and periodic, unannounced on-site inspections by an independent engineering firm.
“Hanson is committed to producing and maintaining high-quality precast products and is honored our LaPlace facility has been recognized by NPCA,” said Richard Manning, president of Hanson Building Products North America. “The Hanson team is dedicated to maintaining excellence in every part of the manufacturing process that generates our products.”
NPCA Certification assures engineers, architects and contractors they are receiving products that come from an organization dedicated to the highest level of quality throughout the manufacturing process.
