PCI (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute)

The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) is a professional organization that develops standards and provides guidance for the design, manufacturing, and use of precast and prestressed concrete products. Precast concrete is made in a factory and then transported to construction sites, ensuring quality and efficiency. Prestressed concrete involves strengthening the material with internal tension, allowing it to handle greater loads and span longer distances. PCI’s role is to promote best practices, facilitate innovation, and ensure safety and durability in projects using these advanced concrete solutions.
