Box Culvert Solutions:
Whether you need to place storm water runoff in an underground conduit,
or provide a passage for golf carts under a highway, precast box
culvert may provide a cost-effective solution. PEM produces box
culvert in sizes ranging from 4’ x 3’ to 16’ x 12’
of unlimited length. Multiple tandem cells may be installed to accommodate
greater volume requirements. We have built structures with design
fill depths as deep as 85’. |

Communication Solutions:
The growing demand for placement of utilities underground, coupled
with increased security concerns, prompts an increased need for
telecommunications vaults and manholes into which cable can be pulled
and spliced. Often these structures are placed in roadways and must
withstand highway traffic design loadings. Precast concrete structures
are ideal for this application because they can be installed and
backfilled immediately, resulting in minimum inconvenience to the
traveling public. |

| Electrical
Solutions: As with telecommunications cabling, there
is growing demand that electrical cabling be placed underground,
often in roadways or other areas subject to vehicular wheel loadings.
PEM has developed a broad range of cost-effective standard sized
electric power manholes to accommodate the needs of utilities and
utility contractors. We can also produce structures of unique geometry
and/or size to efficiently accommodate special applications. Additionally,
PEM produces a wide range of switch gear and transformer bases for
above-ground application. |

Potable Water
Utility Solutions: Precast structures afford a cost-effective
solution to the need to place metering equipment and back-flow prevention
equipment within a load-bearing underground enclosure. As with electric
and telecommunications manholes, backfill can commence immediately
after setting of the structure, and mechanical hookup is not delayed.
The costly risk of weather delay is largely removed by the use of
precast rather than field-poured construction. |

Specialty Casting Solutions:
Structural precast concrete elements are highly versatile. Their
use is often only constrained by the ability to form the intended
geometry, move the weight by truck, or lift the piece into place
at the job site. Over the years PEM has built precast concrete structures
for many unusual applications, including special missile launch-tube
caps to seal 154 ICBM missile silos around Whiteman Air Force Base
in connection with the Strategic Arms Limitation Agreement. If you
have an application for a special structural concrete element, PEM
may be able to propose a solution. |

Storm Water Drainage Solutions:
Efficiently produced, high quality inlets and manholes are an essential
component to any successful road or highway development project.
PEM has built storm drainage structures for many MoDOT and KDOT
projects, as well as municipal and private projects. Our production
facility is equipped to build these structures in a highly efficient
manner. |

Waste Water Treatment Solutions:
The application of precast structures to municipal waste water treatment
plant construction can significantly expedite the project and save
considerable cost for both the contractor and the owner. PEM, with
its specialty casting and heavy-lifting capabilities, has built
many structures for treatment plant applications with important
savings to the municipality. Design engineers are encouraged to
consult PEM during the project design phase to optimize the benefit
of precast applications. |
