At OCP's inception in the summer of 2002, it was considered the most advanced manufacturing facility of concrete pipe, maintenance holes and grade rings.

OCP is centrally located off the QEW in Oakville for convenient market access for just in time delivery. The facility consists of 80,000 square feet of innovative manufacturing space and 9,000 square feet of auxiliary space.

The plant produces a range of products from 300mm to 1500mm concrete pipe, 1200mm and 1500mm maintenance holes, and MH and CB grade rings. The processing was designed around a culmination of equipment from a variety of countries. Improved manufacturing processes using automation and robotics result in less labour, a safe work environment and consistent quality products.

The pipe, maintenance hole and grade ring processing equipment was purchased from an Austrian company called Schlusselbauer. Schlusselbauer is the manufacturer of highly automated precast concrete manufacturing equipment and has a world wide Customer base. The main pipe machine the Exact 2500 is capable of producing high volumes of products using frequency controlled vibration for a denser product with zero defects.

The concrete batching plant was completely designed and supplied from Haarup in Denmark. There are two 90 tonne cement storage silos, as well as eight 125 tonne aggregate storage bins. The mixer is capable of batching 1.5 cubic meters every 2 1/2 minutes.

Auxiliary equipment includes a variety of overhead bridge cranes from Demag in Germany, a curing system from IFS Systembau in Germany, a concrete spigot grinding machine, cage welding machines from MBK in Germany, a wire straightening machine from Thompson Hudson in England, coring machines from NPC in the United States and forklift trucks from Caterpillar in the United States.

All our products are manufactured with a single off set joint using a Super-Seal gasket to ensure watertight joints.

This lean manufacturing plant has ample manufacturing capacity and is able to meet market demands.
