Case Study: Essex County Hall of Records Parking Garage
When the Essex County Improvement Authority set out to build a parking complex for the county's government campus in 2019, they turned to precast concrete to meet the challenge of unstable soil conditions, expedite construction, and match the aesthetics of nearby buildings. PCI-certified precast producer, the High Concrete Group, fabricated numerous precast products, including columns, girders, stairs, and five 65-foot-tall tablets featuring the county seal and inspiring words that pivot between translucent panels at the entry plaza. The final product matched the intended design aesthetic, kept the project on time, and will last for years with little maintenance needed.
