Lafarge Precast Edmonton
Ford Distribution Center, Nisku
Live Project Update: October 2017
Project Overview:
Lafarge Precast Edmonton is proud to be part of the construction team building the new Ford Distribution Center, Nisku, Alberta.
This project features 99,000 square feet of our precast Insulcor wall panels, which will be incorporated within the external envelope of the building. Our Insulcore wall panels work hand in hand with the structural steel design, and provide a strong durable wall system with excellent thermal mass and fire resistance qualities.
Lafarge precast is CPCI certified to CSA standards for the manufacture of Prestressed Precast Concrete Products and incorporates the CPCI Plant Sustainability Program in our manufacturing process.

Stage 1, Production of the precast Insulcore:
Due to the speed at which our crews install structures that incorporate precast products, the production of our individual precast components at our Edmonton facility must start well in advance of our commencement on site. Our project management team works hand in hand with the main contractor to schedule the production of every precast concrete component ahead of time, ensuring that the project is ready for shipping as soon as the individual sections are required on the job site.

Stage 2, The installation of our precast products: Phase 1
Stage 3, The installation of our precast products: Timelapse Installation Footage Coming Soon
One of the primary reasons precast concrete Insulcore was selected for this project because of cost and speed of construction. All Precast concrete components were made off site as shown above and delivered to the project on a "just in time" basis, all shipments were efficiently and conveniently coordinated between Lafarge and the main contractor to ensure the tight project timelines were met.
