Integrated Design
Located on a campus of 1.5 million square feet in Terrebonne (Quebec, Canada), Saramac is close to Montreal’s network of major highways. Our facilities include all of the modern equipment and infrastructure needed for the manufacture of our products.
The use of architectural precast concrete panels requires close collaboration between construction professionals and our technical department from the very start of development. Integrated design lets us offer you all of the advantages of precast concrete. We provide a full range of services from planning to installation, including cost estimates, design, casting and transportation. We design every element to meet architectural and structural specifications. Every step of the way, you can count on our assistance.
As a construction material, precast concrete has proven its worth and is recognized worldwide for its nobility and durability. Thanks to the combined know-how of our personnel, Saramac has mastered every facet of this industry.
Estimates
We can give you cost estimates from the preliminary drawings through to the final design. We provide assistance at every stage of project development, maximizing the efficiency of prefabrication.
We also offer a rich palette of finishes and textures to help you customize your product. To ensure that you get what you have in mind, we can make samples for you.
Production
Architectural precast concrete has evolved on an ascending curve. Like any business that listens to its clientele, Saramac has steadily refined its fabrication techniques to be always on the cutting edge. Our investments in R&D have resulted in constant improvement of what has always been a high-performance product.
The production of precast concrete elements is a multi-stage process: making and finishing moulds, making reinforcements and anchors, preparing various blends of concrete, right up to sand-blasting the elements with crushed recycled glass to obtain the desired finish.
At every stage of production, quality control procedures ensure consistency throughout each project. Fabricated under ideal conditions in the factory, precast concrete panels meet the technical specifications of both Canadian and American standards. Saramac is a certified member of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI), and the Canadian Welding Bureau.
Installation
Working together with installation crews, we ensure that your precast concrete elements are installed according to the rules of the art.
Ease of handling, just-in-time delivery, precision lifting, a small worksite crew, and year-round installation: Saramac offers everything you need to complete construction projects quickly and efficiently.
