Trying to take care of concrete surfaces without quality film-forming and penetrative sealers can play havoc with their appearance. In some cases, as in northern winters, the concrete’s longevity can also be degraded.

Environmental Containment Corp (ECC) aims to be the Pacific Northwest’s market leader in watertight, underground stormwater detention solutions. Based in Seattle, Washington, ECC is an umbrella company for three businesses: Superior Concrete, National Precast, and Marks. Each firm plays a role in the design, construction, and installation of stormwater infrastructure.

Atlantic TNG LLC, originally Atlantic Concrete, has been casting quality precast concrete products since 1969. In 2019, we sat down with Megan Kitchner, a third-generation precaster who launched her own division of the family business in 2011. We checked back in with Kitchner this month to learn the latest from her Sarasota, Florida headquarters.

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is always advancing the industry by guiding and assisting individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction, and related materials.

Headquartered in Midland, Virginia, the Smith-Midland family of companies includes three precast concrete manufacturing facilities, a barrier rental company, an advertising and marketing business, and a product licensing subsidiary: Easi-Set Worldwide.
