(CALGARY, AB) New to Canada and exclusive to Integrity Post Structures, the Perma-Column will bring in a new era to post frame construction. Perma-Columns are precast concrete columns that allow for a concrete foundation.

“We are excited to offer the Canadian market this bold new product,” says Al Williams, co-owner of Integrity Post Structures. “This column which has been tested thoroughly and used for years in the U.S., will take post frame construction to a new level of longevity in Canada.”

The Perma-Column is the first product to combine the economy of post frame construction with the durability of a concrete foundation. Perma-Columns have been extensively tested by both Wisconsin and Purdue University. In comparative strength tests, Perma-Columns have proven to outperform the industry standard of wood columns.

Perma-Columns use the latest in self-compacting concrete precasting technology to provide three times the strength of standard concrete. Microfibers add shock resistance and durability. Microsilicia enhances flexural/compressive strength and erosion resistance. A corrosion inhibitor protects the rebar reinforcement from rusting, and a final admixture is added to give freeze/thaw protection.

“The Perma-Column is the most important advance in the post frame industry in years,” says Irvin Goodon, known as the Canadian pioneer of post frame. “Having been in the industry for close to 50 years, I believe this technology will significantly extend the life of post frame buildings here in Canada–especially considering the weather extremes of our climate.”

Ensure your farm building is constructed with the safety of you, your family, equipment and property in mind. Researching the engineering approach of your builder up front before your next building purchase can save money and potential problems in the future.

“We approach the construction of each building as if it is a special to a new location,” says Al Williams, co-owner of Integrity Post Structures. “What does this mean? It means that we specifically engineer each new building for every location’s potential differences in snow and wind loading calculations to ensure it meets or exceeds the local building code for possible conditions.”

Some companies may rely on general engineering standards that are national in scope. These standards may not be adequate for the vast differences in weather and climate conditions across Canada.

“Local and specific engineering can make the difference in having a building that stands the test of time or is a potential hazard on your property,” says Williams. “Farm buildings are a large investment for any producer. You want to be sure they are engineered for your local conditions and are built safely and with precision.”

Williams also recommends researching the quality of materials and methods of the assigned crew. “The integrity of your structure can be at stake if these two areas are not top quality, says Williams. “And, make sure your builder isn’t in a rush to get off to the next job so they do the job right the first time around.”
