The Precast Concrete Solution for Meter Pits and Valve Vaults |
| | Precast Concrete Geothermal Vault | | | | Geothermal Energy is a safe, renewable energy stored within the earth and is becoming increasingly popular due to the public's growing concern for reducing waste. Due to the earth's constant temperature, geothermal energy can be efficiently used for heating and cooling purposes without harm to the environment. Advance Concrete Products Co. is called upon for geothermal systems because we are experts in manufacturing quality underground enclosures. Since 1966, our customers are confident their energy distribution equipment will be housed in a structurally sound, watertight, precast concrete vault, sized according to their specific requirements. Here is an example of one of Advance Concrete Products' precast concrete geothermal vaults, without the roof, installed by our experienced crane operator and the contractor's job site crew.

| | You Will Be As Pleased As Lance, When You Call Advance Concrete Products | | | | After delivering 48,000 lb. precast concrete arsenic treatment tanks on a tight schedule, we received this unsolicited comment:
"I want to acknowledge the fine work you and your company did. In addition to giving praise to an efficient and well run plant, I want to compliment your men in the field. Your men are professional with demonstrated experience at what they do. I was very impressed with the way they swung those big tanks over into the excavation and then aligned them one atop the other. Very precise...I shall strongly recommend your company."

| | Valves and Piping Can Be Installed Prior to Delivery | | | | | Advance Concrete Products is proud to have provided a valve vault, complete with riser, for this important remediation project at the Detroit Wildlife Refuge. The precast concrete assembly was outfitted at our yard prior to delivery with valves, piping, and supports, saving valuable time and money on the job. The contractor also chose to have Advance apply two coats of exterior damproofing on the concrete structure at our plant to decrease permeability. We are excited to be part of the vast improvements occurring in the city of Detroit and surrounding areas.
The 44-acre Refuge Gateway is located on the Trenton Channel of the
Detroit River in Trenton, Michigan. It is a brownfield site that is
being restored as the Refuge Gateway. Over
50 years ago the entire Refuge Gateway shoreline of the Trenton Channel
was filled to accommodate the industrial development of the site,
destroying many coastal wetlands. Restoration work at the site will
recreate a more natural shoreline at the Refuge Gateway from upland
habitats through shrub-scrub, emergent wetlands, submergent wetlands,
and transitioning out to paulstrine habitats. In total, 18 acres of
wetlands and 26 acres of prairie/buffer habitats will be restored at the
Refuge Gateway. The innovative restoration work being completed
at the Refuge Gateway represents a net gain in wetlands in an area that
has lost 97% of its coastal wetlands to development. By restoring these
coastal wetlands and adjacent buffer habitats, the ecological buffer is
being improved for Humbug Marsh, Michigan's only Wetland of International Importance.
