The 8th Edition of the NPCA Quality Control Manual for Precast and Prestressed Plants is now in effect and is available for free download online. The complete manual is available in the Members Only section of the NPCA Website. Simply visit the Members Only home page and log in using your User Name and Password. If you need assistance logging in, please contact Amber Gosser at NPCA (800) 366-7731.
The 8th Edition QC Manual has a new look. The manual has been reformatted by removing Chapter 7 (Prestressed Concrete Requirements) and integrating the chapter into the rest of the manual.
Prestressed requirements are shown in BLUE. Plants enrolled in the Prestressed Certification Program are required to meet all standard precast requirements listed in black and everything in BLUE (prestressed concrete).
Architectural precast requirements are shown in RED. Plants the produce precast and architectural precast elements need to meet all standard precast requirements listed in black and everything in RED (architectural precast). By now you should have received a letter officially notifying you of the publication of the new QC Manual. If you did not receive the letter or if you have any questions about the certification, please contact Liz Todd by e-mail or call Liz at (800) 366-7731.
I work for Boughton’s Precast and am finding your “New and Improved” website not very user- friendly.
When I attempt to find the newest QC Manual I continually hit a dead end.
