Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute

Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute Founded in 1954, The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) is a technical institute for the precast concrete structures and systems industry.

PCI develops, maintains, and disseminates the Body of Knowledge for the design, fabrication, and construction of precast concrete structures and systems. PCI develops consensus base standards, industry handbooks, quality assurance programs, certification, research and development projects, design manuals, continuing education and periodical publications. PCI members include precast
concrete produ

cers, erectors, suppliers, professional engineers and architects, educators, students, and industry consultants who complement the wide range of knowledge of precast concrete. For more additional information, visit www.pci.org.

For the SR 520 Montlake project, precast concrete was incorporated from the start. This project’s goal was to reconnect communities, improve regional mobility, enhance pedestrian access, and create a safer, seismically resilient bridge approach. The use of precast concrete components, produced by Concrete Technology Corporation, reduced overall concrete consumption, helping to lower the project's carbon footprint. This bridge won a 2026 PCI Design Award in the Transportation category, Bridge with a Main Span from 76-200 Feet. https://www.pci.org/PCI/Project_Resources/Project_Profile/Project_Profile_Details.aspx?ID=274620

Join us today, August 4, for a free, CEU webinar open to all PCI members and non-members. This session will cover how design-assist engagement transforms campus projects from the first conversation. From student housing and residence halls to academic and athletic facilities, attendees will discover how integrating prefabricated building solutions early in design leads to better constructability, budget reliability, faster delivery, and spaces that stand the test of time. https://www.pci.org/PCI/PCI/News-Events/Event_Display.aspx?EventKey=HIEDWEB84

To help meet the states Energy Master Plan, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) invested in the construction of the New Jersey Wind Port (NJWP)—a purpose-built offshore wind marshaling port located in Lower Alloways Creek along the Delaware River. Through the installation of precast concrete components produced by Precast Systems Inc., the port can withstand 6200 lb/ft2 of live load, with the inland area capable of supporting up to 4800 lb/ft2 of short-term foundation loads for storage and staging. This project won a 2026 PCI Design Award for Transportation Special Solution. https://www.pci.org/PCI/Project_Resources/Project_Profile/Project_Profile_Details.aspx?ID=274612
