Wanganui’s McDonald Concrete continues to demonstrate its clear advantage on the Harveston subdivision for client Rangitikei Development supplying all the precast concrete pipes and manholes for the project. It ’s the advice that McDonald Concrete has given, honed from years of experience, that has helped the client make signi icant savings, says McDonald Concrete owner Ian. “We work in partnership with our clients to deliver a successful result,” he says. “For example we suggested switching to a Dual 1050 line from our ElePipe reinforced concrete pipe range instead of box culverts. ElePipe is ISO 9001 and manufactured to AS/NZS 4058:2007 standard. It delivered the durability and reliability the client needed.” Son Ross and company project manager says that the project demonstrates the ability of McDonald Concrete to successfully and cost e ectively supply large contracts. “Also with the McDonald Concrete service advantage,” he adds. “We’ve been lexible and nimble to respond quickly to the client ’s needs.” McDonald Concrete is on a strong growth trajectory. From 12 sta six years ago today it employs a team of around 50 and growing. The premises the company moved to at that time, that it was predicted it would never outgrow, are now too small and signi icant extension work is being undertaken. The yard has already increased from 6000sqm to 20,000sqm. A new entranceway will enable up to four trucks to be loaded at any one time. Only around half the site has been developed so there is McDonald Concrete - 85 years of innovation, community service and quality products plenty more room to accommodate growth.
