The 2025 Production Workshop is HERE!

 

PCI’s Architectural Precast Concrete Committee will hold an Architectural Precast Production Workshop from October 14 to 16, 2025, in Sacramento, CA. The workshop will focus on architectural precast concrete forming techniques, featuring one day of classroom learning and networking, along with a half-day plant visit to Clark Pacific’s facility in Woodland, CA. 

The workshop offers a platform for experienced forming professionals, as well as individuals involved with forming crews—including those working in sales, estimating, and production—to deepen their knowledge of forming processes and plant capabilities.

Topics covered include best practices for using steel forms, custom wood molds, formliners, brick/terra cotta, and hybrid form materials to produce complex shapes. Sessions will address form design, installation, modification, and repair.

Speakers at the workshop will include forming specialists, plant managers, and PCI supplier associate members who will share their experiences in a collaborative environment. Attendees are encouraged to participate by bringing questions, concerns, and ideas (Ideas that Pay Off). There will be recognition for the three ideas judged most valuable.

Topics include:
