About Us Columbia Precast Products, an environmentally conscious manufacturer, strives to be the preferred precast supplier in the Pacific Northwest valuing safety, quality, and customer service. Why Choose Columbia Precast Products? Are you looking for a precast concrete manufacturer for your public or private project? We’re a Portland-area company that understands construction in the Pacific Northwest. Not every precast concrete company in Portland are created equal. You will want to find a manufacturer that’s right for your job. Quality Products We produce manholes, catch basins, box culverts, vault structures and custom designs. Precast results in a durable product for both above- and below- ground structures. It has nearly endless design possibilities. Concrete produced in a mold is different from poured-in-place concrete. We manufacture our precast manholes, catch basins, boxes, vaults and custom designs in the controlled environment of our facility. Precast concrete has been around at since the time of the ancient Romans. Manufacturing techniques and practices continue to evolve, and today there’s a big emphasis on quality control, green manufacturing and cost-effective production. Our products offer superior strength and versatility, but they can also reduce construction costs and delays. For example, a finished catch basin or box culvert is quick to install. The items are produced off-site in our factory. Contractors need only prepare the site before fitting the products in place. Commitment to Sustainability Concrete consists of natural materials. CPP is committed to using sustainable practices and looking for locally sourced raw materials. We recycle process water and waste concrete. We’re striving to produce a clean product that’s healthy for people, plants, animals and the environment. Low maintenance and longevity are two of precast concrete’s greatest advantages. These benefits are not only good news for the environment, but also for your budget. Precast structures can last for decades with few if any repairs required. PNPCA Committee Members Comprised of companies, firms, and individuals from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest Precast Concrete Association (PNPCA) works towards improving the marketplace. This is done through communicating new ideas and information, discussing new efficiencies in the production of precast concrete, and improving cooperation between governmental agencies, engineers, and precasters. Columbia Precast Products are members of the PNPCA and sit on many of their committees. We do this to keep our fingers on the pulse of the industry as well as share our knowledge with other precast companies. These committees include: ODOT – Oregon Department of Transportation: This committee meets to discuss ways to improve communication with the state and improving specifications of concrete products. WSDOT – Washington State Department of Transportation: Similar to ODOT, Washington members meet to consider ways to improve the industry in the state to help each other grow. Safety: When dealing with pieces of precast concrete that can weigh thousands of pounds, it’s important that safety protocols are put in place. This committee explores ways of improving safety, both in handling concrete as well as the machinery. Manhole: The cornerstone of almost any sewage system, manholes allow access to the lines and help divert the sewage to treatment plants or other locations. Here we work to improve safety, production, and installation processes. Marketing: Being able to communicate the benefits of a product is important for any industry. Finding better ways to get the word out is the main concern for this committee.
