January’s donation was made to Hudsonville Christian School. Kerkstra Precast is an All Event Sponsor, which sponsors the HCS Golf Outing, Sporting Clay Shoot and Education Foundation Dinner.
We understand the importance of our community and celebrate that we can share our anniversary by giving back to the community.

Kerkstra produced 33” x 48” prestressed box beams for the Jackson County – McDevitt Avenue bridge, over US 127. The beam in this photo is 106 feet, 1 inch and weighs 48 tons. This is Kerkstra’s first time producing prestressed box beams. There will be a total of 36 beams for the entire project. The beams will range from 48-54 tons. The customer for this project is Davis Construction Company.
The recent removal of the cap on charter schools provides additional opportunities for Kerkstra Precast. Back in 2010, we provided precast wall panels for Hanley International Academy. Check out this article if you’re looking for more information on the removal— (House lifts cap on charter schools)
Kerkstra Precast produced an innovative retaining wall system for the Michigan Department of Transportation at the I-196 & Baldwin Street Interchange in Jenison, MI. The precast system was only the second of it’s kind to be installed in the United States. The retaining wall system helped minimize the number of panels, reduced panel & footing weight and helped save 4 month of the construction schedule! PCI has recognized this innovation and awared the project team a distinguished PCI Design Award that will be presented at the PCI Convention this fall in Utah.
