Your Trusted Partner for Precast Concrete Solutions
Design Concrete has established itself as a leader in the precast concrete industry, specializing in innovative solutions for infrastructure and agricultural markets. Our CSA-approved facility in Seaforth, ON, combines proven design principles with operational efficiency to deliver custom precast products that simplify complex projects. With decades of collective experience, our team prioritizes quality standards while maintaining a responsive approach to commercial and agricultural construction needs. We are committed to making precast solutions faster, easier, and more consistent through our turnkey project services. Our engineer-designed systems incorporate advanced materials that exceed building code requirements by 1.5 times, ensuring durability in challenging environments. From noise barriers with freeze-thaw resistance to modular building systems with customizable features, we provide solutions that balance functionality with aesthetic appeal.Our technical expertise extends to integrating traffic barriers, retaining walls, and transparent panels while maintaining compliance with Canadian standards like CAN/CSA-S6:19 and ASTM C666. Through continuous innovation, we've developed proprietary products such as the Short Core Design hog slats that enhance animal welfare while maintaining structural integrity. Our team works directly with general contractors, government agencies, and developers to transform concepts into completed projects with minimal site disruption. By maintaining in-stock inventory and utilizing self-aligning block systems, we ensure timely delivery without compromising quality.

Services
Noise Barriers
Our MTO-approved noise barriers use precast concrete panels with galvanized steel posts to redirect sound waves effectively. The system's cylindrical footings and 3630mm post spacing create durable installations that resist freeze-thaw cycles. Available with absorptive or reflective surfaces, these barriers meet CSA and ASTM standards for highway and residential applications while offering customizable finishes.
Retaining Walls
The Retain-A-Rock gravity block system uses interlocking precast concrete units that eliminate mechanical tie-backs for walls up to 12ft. The hollow-core design provides integrated drainage while reducing freight costs. CSA-certified for freeze-thaw resistance, these walls meet Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code requirements for infrastructure projects, shoreline protection, and temporary construction shoring applications.
Agricultural Slats
Our CSA-certified hog slats feature a proprietary Short Core Design that improves animal traction and cleanliness. Manufactured with acid-resistant concrete exceeding building code strength by 1.5x, these slats come in 1-4ft widths and 14ft lengths. The system includes installation services for new builds, barn retrofits, and finishing facilities across Ontario.
Modular Buildings
Easi-Set and Easi-Span modular buildings offer rapid installation with relocation flexibility. These precast systems accommodate fabric structures with overhead doors and divider walls for material separation. Available in customizable dimensions with 8-96in heights, they meet CSA-A23.4 standards for storage, equipment housing, and utility enclosures across Ontario.
Precast Pipe Ballasts
Engineered concrete supports for underground piping systems that ensure proper alignment and load distribution. Manufactured to CSA-A23.1 standards using freeze-thaw resistant materials, these ballasts provide stable foundations for municipal infrastructure and industrial applications requiring long-term durability in challenging environments.
