About this job

Concrete Technology Corporation pioneered the development of the prestressed concrete industry in the United States. When Thomas and Arthur Anderson built the initial production facility in 1951, it was the first prestressing factory building in this country. The modest 4-employee company was the culmination of a year-long investigation by the Andersons throughout Europe to see the few prestressed concrete structures in existence at that time.

Through considerable effort in developing and promoting the technology of prestressed elements for construction, Concrete Tech was able to win acceptance of its structural concepts. Acceptance led to growth in sales and demand, and the resulting expansion led to the building of the main Structural Plant in 1960.

A second major production building was added in 1967 to accommodate the rising demand for precast building elements. Production expansion in the 1970's included facilities for semi-automated casting of hollow-core slabs and a 150 ft x 500 ft. graving dock for construction of floating concrete structures. Continuous upgrading since that time of stressing beds, handling equipment, batching facilities, forms, and other tooling have continued to keep Concrete Tech at the forefront of prestressed concrete manufacturing.

Today the 30-acre plant includes over 120,000 sf of enclosed production facilities; a state-of-the-art batch plant; welding, rebar, and carpentry fabrication shops; bridge, gantry, and mobile cranes; and shipping by truck, rail, and barge. The result of this is that literally thousands of bridges, buildings, piers, tanks, floats and other structures throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska have been built with Concrete Tech products.
