When it comes to precast concrete, major projects, government departments, civil contractors, builders and distributors rely on BCP Precast, the construction industry’s leading specialists in precast design and manufacturing. Their track record over the last 30 years is proof that Australian ingenuity, flexibility and determination can meet any challenge.
BCP Precast is the only wholly Australian owned major manufacturer of reinforced concrete box culverts on the east coast of Australia. Their other products for major infrastructure projects include jersey barriers, bridge parapets, patterned panels, precast pits, sewer access chambers, stair treads, noise walls and for commercial construction and industrial projects, precast flooring products, trade waste arrestors, onsite detention tanks, gross pollutant traps and car stops. All BCP’s standard products have been designed by external consulting engineers who provide independent certification of BCP products. BCP has a quality system in place which conforms to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2000 and is certified by Benchmark Certification Pty Ltd.
BCP is also the leading manufacturer of “custom” precast products made to meet specific client designs and specifications. With four state of the art, high capacity manufacturing facilities at Charmhaven, Moorebank and Coffs Harbour in New South Wales, and Yatala in Queensland, BCP service projects along the east coast from the Port Douglass down to Melbourne, providing a complete service throughout Queensland, NSW and Victoria. Recently, BCP successfully completed three varieties of precast parapet panels for the Victoria Road Busway Project in a seven month manufacturing programme. The shell, edestrian and cyclist parapet panels were used for attachment to the outer edges of the bridge to provide a safety barrier between road, footpath, cycleway and the river below. The panels were fragile structures easuring 5.5 metre long by 2 metres high, and thin in section. There was a high risk of cracking, so unique landling methods were developed to transport them to the site without damaging the integrity of the panels or the class 2 finish specified for the project. On the Sydney A380 Upgrade project, Leighton Contractors turned to BCP to manufacture the precast concrete slabs used to strengthen the tunnel. The project’s challenges included the need for BCP to comply with the requirements of Sydney Airport Corporation (SACL) which specified all deliveries and onsite work be carried out in the dead of night during the Sydney Airport’s takeoff and landing curfew.
Supplying such complex projects is possible because BCP offers a personalised service, with sales staff and engineering staff working with clients to come up with cost effective precast solutions which can meet the most challenging design and supply needs.
