Precast Systems Engineering

Precast Systems Engineering (PSE) specializes in construction engineering primarily focused on precast, prestressed concrete for buildings, marine structures, and bridges utilizing UHPC in components and connections. The firm’s philosophy is based on teaming up directly with contractors, engineers, and owners in order to streamline fabrication or placement, facilitate communications throughout the design and casting process, and provide the best overall project delivery in terms of durability and performance.

Precast Systems Engineering is partnered with Precast Systems Inc. and Cor-Tuf UHPC which allows us to use advanced material technology and experience to fulfill a commitment to execution in a wide array of projects. Our group is aiming to take UHPC and Precasting to another level in order to answer the challenges of the construction future by reinventing steel and reimagining concrete.

OUR TEAM 

JP BinardJP Binard
Owner, President

In July of 2016, JP Binard formed Precast Systems Engineering (PSE), a value engineering focused firm with expertise in precast, prestressed concrete for bridges and marine structures.  The catalyst to start the business, however, was Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) via a visit to Dura Technologies in Malaysia with the Precast, Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) in September of that year.  Since this visit, PSE has grown both in conventional precast, prestressed design and detailing throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Regions and UHPC innovations and research.  JP’s primary roles in the business include overseeing project designs and details, business development, and collaborating on research initiatives that further the usage and commercialization of UHPC.

Prior to joining Precast Systems Engineering, JP was the Chief Engineer at Bayshore Precast Concrete in Cape Charles, VA; a heavy civil precast company with a rich legacy and owned at the time by a large international civil contractor, Skanska.  There JP was involved in multiple long span bridges throughout the region, innovative pier and wharf projects for a variety of clients (Navy, Port Authorities, Private) including precast, prestressed caps, deck slabs, and fenders, waterline footings weighing over 400 tons on occasion, numerous piling projects, and various unique structural applications of precast concrete.  It was challenging, exciting, fun, laborious, and nearly always created an opportunity to be the dumbest person in the room.  Prior to Bayshore, JP worked in Florida in design offices and eventually a precast concrete producer which paved the way to his profession.

During his career, JP has served with PCI as Chair of the Prestressed Concrete Piling Committee, Chair of the Ultra High Performance Concrete Sub-Committee, and currently Vice Chair to the Committee on Bridges.  He served on two National Cooperative Highway Research Program panels and active with American Concrete Institute via the 239 (UHPC) committee.  We have enjoyed research projects with Federal Highway, PCI, and Universities as it pertains to UHPC primarily and JP has published a number of articles.

JP is a native of the United States having grown up in nearly every region of the country and graduated from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.  JP is in persistent pursuit of a PhD someday with multiple credits in master level classes from multiple universities.  JP is licensed in several states currently including Florida, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

JP has happily settled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia where he enjoys cooking for friends and his family, an occasional round of golf, coaching his son’s travel soccer team while luring his daughter to follow suit, and consistently renovating his house with his lovely wife. Save
