HistoryCooke Precast Concrete Pty. Ltd. commenced business in September 1996, with a staff combining together bringing many decades of knowledge and experience within the precast concrete, transport and specialists in the drainage industries.
OperationsThe Company manufactures from a factory at Edinburgh North, South Australia, with an extensive range of slip moulds for precast production in the drainage field, numerous moulds for sumps, side entry pits, inspection openings and cable pits. Cooke Precast Concrete can provide a large range of access cover products in addition to septic tanks, car park and domestic products. With our own large concrete batching facility we are able to produce consistent mixes as well as the special design batches like calcareous aggregate, fondag, coloured and high strength concrete.
