Ola Precast
A Vanguard in Thermal Break Construction
Energy efficiency is the leading trend driving sustainability in modern construction. Minimizing heat transfer and loss in buildings will improve ener gy conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A crucial component that catalyzes this journey toward sustainability is precast thermal break panels.
Ola Precast positions itself at the helm of energy-efficient building construction with its high-quality thermal break manufacturing services that aid builders and contractors in achieving the maximum benefit out of precast concrete.
Its 100 percent thermal break panels, created through a highly customizable manufacturing process, are ready-to-use and easy-to-install.
“Our thermal break panels are unique and can be modeled to fit different designs from clients and customized per different project requirements,” says Ike Waldner, general manager, sales at Ola Precast.
For more than 15 years, Ola Precast has provided timely, qualityassured precast concrete materials, going the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction.
The Gold Standard for Precast Production
Ola Precast prides itself on its thermal-break technology, using which it manufactures high-quality products like sandwich panels, slabs, and custom signage in its state-ofthe- art production facility. The company sources aggregates and additives from trusted suppliers and stores them in a dedicated, climate-controlled building. Sprinklers regularly maintain the necessary moisture levels to generate optimum storage conditions.
A computer-controlled batch plant ensures the precision mixing of ingredients and concrete samples, which undergo regular quality checks by an external team. Panels are generated by pouring concrete into a magnetic form array that can mold them into a variety of shapes and sizes. Casting beds can go from one inch wide to 13 feet in a matter of minutes. They have vibrators at the bottom, and the concrete can be prestressed, if needed.
A Thermomass insulation system ensures complete thermal and moisture protection for the completed precast products. The entire facility is climate controlled with in-floor heating to maintain an optimum temperature throughout the manufacturing process.
A testament to its brilliant craftsmanship, the manufacturing plant is Ola Precast’s most prized technology.To raise awareness about thermal break panels, it arranges tours around the plant to demonstrate how the panels are made, the quality of work that goes into them, and the efficiency and value they bring to modern construction.
A White Glove Service for Contractors
“We can assist contractors with the whole package, from design until the last screw is in place, or just supply them with precise precast products,” says Mike Waldner, production manager at Ola Precast.
Undertaking a significant portion of processes in-house allows it to reduce costs for contractors. Flexibility in its manufacturing operations also enables Ola Precast to be open to unorthodox designs from clients. It can draft precise 2D or 3D models of beams, columns, slabs, sandwich panels, or signage, and modulate the manufacturing process to align with the client’s ideas, providing the desired results with the best quality.
One of the major challenges in the construction industry has been the increasing demand for preordered products and the need for contractors to map out the construction process in advance. They must evaluate timelines ahead of schedule and ensure that supplies are always in stock. By partnering with Ola Precast, clients can be assured that all composites, materials, and supplies are always available.
Ola Precast offers a soup-to-nuts service, aiding clients from design drafting to manufacturing, delivery, installation, and even finishing touches if the requirement calls for it. In the rare occurrence of any issues relating to the above services, it immediately resolves them at no added expense for the contractor.

Raising Buildings in a Day
Ola Precast serves a wide variety of clients. Some come with a complete blueprint of designs, while others may have only an idea and require advice on how to proceed with their projects that incorporate precast concrete. This is where Ola Precast showcases its versatility, as it meets the assorted and sometimes extensive needs of a diverse clientele.
One example is when it was enlisted to help a client build a facility within a short timeframe.
The requirement was for a 40x20 square foot building, constructed using 100 percent thermal break panels with penetrations from 16-inch holes down to one-inch, and concrete slabs for the roof.
Ola Precast believes in quality over quantity. It understands that there will always be aspects that it needs to improve upon and plans to scale up the process in the coming years. Keeping tabs on the latest updates on materials and products and staying on par with the current trends allows it to constantly evolve its technology and remain ahead of the curve.
Evaluating potential upgrades and testing to determine if they will be an effective addition to its supply chain and be of value to its customers gives Ola Precast an edge over its competitors. The roadmap is determined by the quality and consistency of its products and how well it serves the customers. One hundred percent customer satisfaction is what Ola Precast aims to maintain at all times.
While such a project might typically take three to four days, Ola Precast’s team efforts of design and plant precision production helped create the building erection in under 24 hours, complete with all the finishing touches to make it operable. Highly satisfied with the quality and comprehensive work, the client stated that the only thing left was to paint the building.
The Stepping Stones to Success
Ola Precast accredits all successful client ventures to its top-notch facility and its team of expert designers and engineers. From the 2D or 3D CAD design and drafting stage to quality controls for concrete testing, everything is done in-house by an exceptional team that consistently meets client requirements.
“You can have a perfect system, but if the team is not on board with the heart and mindset to create a perfect product, it doesn’t work,” says Daniel Waldner, design and development manager at Ola Precast.
