Aerial Precast Concrete & Structural Steel (APC)

With miles of coastline, attractive beaches, and a few lakes and rivers, the state of Florida is beautiful in every regard. However, for Floridians and their construction industry, its susceptibility to storms has always been a multi-million dollar problem.

The increasing storm frequency shines a light on building codes, making structural steel and precast products the best fit for Florida’s sustainable construction needs. They serve as simple and no-fuss alternatives to traditional models, as replacing expensive lumber with structural steel saves cost, while precast concrete eliminates the challenges of using castin- place concrete. With excellent resilience, structural steel and precast concrete are ideal for vulnerable locations.

For over 20 years, Aerial Precast Concrete & Structural Steel (APC) has been a trusted name in the Floridian construction space, delivering high-quality structural steel and precast concrete products and services. It specializes in offering superior products that represent the most innovative aspects of production technology and industry standards while focusing on delivering the best personal service.

“Our experience, proficiency, and knowledge in all areas of the construction process—from initial designs to completion—help us ensure project success and client satisfaction,” says Martin Proulx, president of APC.

APC’s range of precast concrete solutions consists of floor and wall systems suitable for every project specification. Its aerial floor systems are designed to deliver the safest and most efficient solution for concrete floor and roof construction projects.

These precast composite floor solutions are strong, durable, ready-to-use, and cost-effective. Components that go into these systems are highly customizable and designed to fit individual and large-scale projects, ensuring quality floor or roof for every structure.

The detailed composition of aerial floor systems results in unsurpassed safety with the best soundproofing characteristics. The concrete structural elements possess proven hurricane-resistance properties and are engineered to sustain up to 200 MPH winds. The completed floor systems also yield a ULC fireproofing rating of two hours, lowering insurance rates.

APC’s complementary product, the aerial wall system, uses various cutting-edge techniques in engineering and is the newest addition to its precast line of products. All aerial walls are designed and fabricated at its facilities based on a project’s unique specifications. Comprised of 6″ solid concrete, reinforced with wire mesh and rebar, and completed with a broom or smooth finish, the precast walls are ready for stucco and paint once installed.

The aerial wall system is a smart solution that ensures efficient use of the project’s construction time. Customized for every architectural design, APC guarantees its work is done correctly from the project’s start, saving valuable time and lowering costs.

On the structural front, APC offers its range of structural steel solutions custom designed to each project’s specifications. Aerial structural steel products ensure stronger, longer-lasting structures that support tie or steel beams and include top and bottom plates with or without nelson studs or buckets. All structural steel beams can be provided at the length and size specified by the consumer with bolted or welded connections.

APC’s goal is to ensure its products help reduce time to completion and offer exemplary resilience in each construction. Echoing this goal, APC continues to move forward with its innovative stride to make the Florida skyline a little more special with each passing day.
