For Gorgas, it is vital that the company works towards achieving something many companies strive and fail to achieve, balance. “We’re very aware of the fact that cement has a negative perspective from the outside world,” he says. “It really is a carbon heavy product, but we work hard to reduce the impact of that with our panel design. Our current panel design reduces the cement and concrete usage by 33% by using a composite insulated panel design. We try to design our panels with continuous edge-to-edge insulation to make a high-quality building envelope, that plays really well into sustainability. And at our facility we recently installed a concrete reclaimer system that allows us to take waste concrete and wastewa- ter and turn it into reusable product. This allows the cement, sand, stone, and water to be reused after they go through the reclaimer system.” “We try to design our panels with continuous edge-to-edge insulation to make a high-quality building envelope, that plays really well into sustainability.” 10Northeast Precast is a company with a clear success story told through its project portfolio and growth succession. More than anything though, it’s people-first approach is what ultimately keeps it on a sustainable path. “For people to be engaged they have to understand the vision, and if the vision is simply a certain amount of revenue, the energy around that eventually runs out,” says Gorgas. “But if they understand that the vision is taking care of people - that’s something everyone can get behind.” As somebody who has been with the company since the beginning, Gorgas is able to truly reflect on the past 20 years that have led Northeast Precast to where it is today. “Looking back over our history it’s easy to see that customers appreciate when you do the right thing,” he says. “That alone – investing in your customers and employees – really propels you forward. I think we are tapping into something by building a culture that’s focused on customers and employees. We’re building something that people want to be a part of, and that tends to organically grow itself.” 11ACCELERATED FREIGHT SOLUTIONS ALLEGUARD CONAC EAST COAST STEEL, INC. GARTON’S RIGGING, INC.
