unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>The process of plaster modeling and concrete modeling was brought to us by our co-founder, Nicholas Carosi Sr., \u201cGrandpa.\u201d After leaving Italy at the age of 13, \u201cGrandpa\u201d was a stone-mason and plaster craftsman for most of his young life in America. He brought this art form to A&amp;C through his background in making plaster crown-molding and cornices via running and casting plaster. \u201cGrandpa\u2019s\u201d skills as a craftsman were so renowned that he was commissioned in 1963 to create a plaster model for the new United States Presidential Seal.<\/p>\n<p>While the size, scope and details of architectural precast have changed from when \u201cGrandpa\u201d started, our process (his process) has remained the same and is as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We take similar panels and group them into a mold group with like profiles or section.<br \/>\n<em>Example: Here is a generic roof cornice spandrel.<\/em><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1085 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/69.89.31.186\/~arbancar\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step1.png?resize=466%2C302\" alt=\"step1\" width=\"466\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step1.png?w=466&amp;ssl=1 466w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step1.png?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step1.png?resize=85%2C55&amp;ssl=1 85w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>We make plaster runs (or castings) of the positive profiles of the panels.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1087\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/69.89.31.186\/~arbancar\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step2.png?resize=466%2C302\" alt=\"step2\" width=\"466\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step2.png?w=466&amp;ssl=1 466w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step2.png?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step2.png?resize=85%2C55&amp;ssl=1 85w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>We form-up and pour concrete on top of plaster.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1088\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/69.89.31.186\/~arbancar\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step3.png?resize=466%2C302\" alt=\"step3\" width=\"466\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step3.png?w=466&amp;ssl=1 466w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step3.png?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step3.png?resize=85%2C55&amp;ssl=1 85w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Finally, we flip the hardened concrete mold over (now we have a negative profile) and pour actual panels off the concrete mold.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1089\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/69.89.31.186\/~arbancar\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step4.png?resize=466%2C302\" alt=\"step4\" width=\"466\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step4.png?w=466&amp;ssl=1 466w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step4.png?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arbancarosi.com\/ArbanWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/step4.png?resize=85%2C55&amp;ssl=1 85w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This process allows us to create the perfect casting surface for architectural precast panels. The advantages of this process, in terms of quality and construction control are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creates a perfectly accurate casting surface.<\/li>\n<li>Creates a perfectly seamless casting surface. (No built-forms or pallet lines.)<\/li>\n<li>Creates a perfectly consistent casting surface. (Never worried about panel not aligning as it is literally \u201ccast in stone.\u201d)<\/li>\n<li>Creates extremely sharp panel edges, transitions and corners. (Unsurpassed in our industry.)<\/li>\n<li>Minimizing the daily work on each mold for set-up crew (The crew is not laying out pallets every day, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The advantage of our process, allowed Arban &amp; Carosi to become recognized throughout the country for its quality product and strive for excellence. Today, we are the only precaster in the nation that still uses these quality-driven methods because of our past, present and future pursuit for excellence in architectural precast.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on these processes you can download our PowerPoint Presentation and view our videos at <a href=\"http:\/\/arbancarosi.com\/technical-information\/\">Technical Information<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though the trade of architectural precast has changed greatly over our 90-year history, our quality driven craftsman process remains unchanged.
