QUALITY CONTROL
NPCA
The National Precast Concrete Association was founded in 1965 as a representative for precast concrete manufacturers. The organization provides education and resources for its members, as well as networking opportunities. Once annually, NPCA hosts The Precast Show, bringing industry professionals together to lunch, learn, and stay ahead of new developments. We have been members of the organization in good-standing since 2013.
CPCQA
The Canadian Precast Concrete Quality Institute (CPCQA) is a third-party audit-based program founded in 2018, which certifies precast plants to applicable CSA sand ASTM standards. This certification combines the quality programs formerly administered by the Canadian Precast Concrete Institute (CPCI) and Canadian Concrete Pipe/Precast Association (CCPPA). It is recognized as a requirement by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation to ensure adherence to precast standards and manufacturing processes.
CCPPA
CCPPA was established in November 2013 to represent concrete pipe producers and manufacturers of precast concrete products used for a wide range of sewer and drainage infrastructure applications, and suppliers to the precast concrete industry. The not-for-profit association was established to protect and advance the interests of the concrete pipe and precast concrete products industry in Canada.
