Over the years, one of the most rewarding partnerships we’ve been part of has been the Wild in Art fundraising trails – vibrant, creative events that have captured the imagination of Ipswich and beyond, all in support of St Elizabeth Hospice. Each trail transforms the town into an open-air art gallery, with large, beautifully decorated […]
The aim was to provide greater insight into the design and manufacturing processes behind precast concrete, while encouraging open discussion and knowledge sharing between engineers and manufacturers. In total, around 20 visitors joined us for the day, taking part in a guided tour of our site led by Tim Evans, Director of Bespoke for Poundfield. […]
The visit offered the students valuable insight into how precast concrete products are designed, manufactured, and used in real-world construction projects. The day included presentations on health and safety, a crucial aspect of working in any construction environment. Students learned about the safety procedures that ensure everyone on site stays protected, as well as the […]
We had a tremendous number of entries from people who visited our sculpture and scanned a QR code on our hare, Captain Jack Carrot. They were automatically entered into our free prize draw and Sarah’s name was randomly picked from the entries. Thanks to everyone who followed the trail and entered the competition. Your commitment […]
When pouring concrete in situ, installing public charging stations can be a time-consuming, labour-intensive process with a high degree of waste. With precast concrete, the speed at which charging stations can be constructed can be significantly reduced. Manufactured off-site using a bespoke steel mould, we can produce multiple charging and canopy foundation bases to the […]
Reinforcement is the backbone of any precast concrete element, playing a vital role in both structural performance and long-term durability. Reinforcement, typically in the form of steel bars or mesh, is embedded within the concrete to resist tensile stresses that the concrete alone cannot handle. While concrete is strong in compression, it’s relatively weak in […]
GreenCem, SigmaRoc’s market-leading business in the development and supply of Ultra Low Carbon Concrete, is proud to announce an industry changing partnership with Teesside University’s Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre (NZIIC), led by renowned materials scientist Professor David Hughes. As part of this landmark collaboration, NZIIC will work with SigmaRoc focused on sustainable innovation within construction materials, bringing an […]
Poundfield Precast manufactures reinforced concrete culverts in a wide range of shapes and sizes, offering long-lasting and reliable solutions for managing water flow around physical obstructions or beneath transport routes. Culverts are typically used to redirect the course of a waterway. The smooth interior surface of the concrete promotes optimal flow through the channel. With […]
