2 High Precast Facade Panels realize any design treatment, from ultra- modern to historically accurate .

Precast Stadium and Arena Systems from High Concrete Group LLC Whether for indoor or outdoor facilities, High precast stadium and arena systems score big with architects, owners, and fans alike. For half a century, High precast has provided exceptional aesthetic and structural versatility, speed of enclosure, and durability. No other material provides the combination of range of shapes, colors, and textures, fire- resistance, acoustical insulation, weather-tightness, long-term durability, low mainte nance, and rapid, IAQ-friendly enclosure. Now, the newest innovation in precast, CarbonCast ® using C-GRID ® carbon fiber grid in lieu of steel mesh, enables facade cladding to be lighter, better insulating, and more durable—making precast even more ideal for cladding or enclosing stadiums and arenas.

When it comes to stadiums and arenas, High Concrete is the clear first choice. Since 1957 we’ve provided precast products for more than 5,000 buildings. High will give you our undivided attention to the details that make the difference in the successful fulfillment of your design. It’s our attention to detail at every step that has won us, and the customers we serve, numerous national awards from PCI, ACI, and AIA.

From concept to completion, High Concrete Group will provide extensive design and specification assistance, connection detailing, construction scheduling and erection planning, samples, mock-ups, assembly testing, field erection, field-finishing and caulking, as well as other services to ensure a streamlined, high quality installation. That’s the High Advantage.

NOTE: Concrete is made from natural materials which vary in the colors they yield over time. Samples will represent a color in the range of colors produced by a mix design. Older samples should only be used as a guide for initial color and finish selection. Fresh 12" x 12" samples should always be used to make near-final color and finish selec - tions. As with natural stone, mock-ups, produced near to the time of actual production, should be used for final color and finish selections. For samples, call 1.800.PRECAST and ask for the name of the sales representative nearest you.
