Self-Perform Structural Concrete

Some things you have to do yourself.

Oltmans self-performs the majority of the concrete poured on our projects. As a pioneer in tilt-up construction, concrete is quite literally the foundation of our business and is one of our most highly-developed specialties. But the real reason we do our own concrete work is the simple fact that no one can do it better, faster or more efficiently than our crews.

Carbon Reduction Ready Mix Research & Development

One of the newest technologies we have been exploring in conjunction with some of the biggest ready mix suppliers in the country is a concrete ready mix that reduces the amount of embodied carbon in our traditional concrete structures. Improving this will produce a construction material that is not only a more responsible building material but will exhibit comparable durability and customizability that has been perfected throughout Oltmans’ 92 years of business.

We've recently completed several projects employing these alternative ready-mix designs, all of which have exhibited outstanding performance in post-pour evaluations. Oltmans ability to self-perform has further enabled us to maintain strict quality control and ensure that their clients receive an exceptional product.

Tilt-Up Construction

Pioneers in concrete construction.

Oltmans was among the first to use highly efficient, cost effective tilt-up method of concrete construction, and we remain one the nation’s foremost general contractors in the tilt-up marketplace.

We form, cure and finish our own tilt-up components onsite and we’ve been doing it that way since the mid-1940′s to provide our clients with the highest quality concrete at the most competitive prices possible. Our highly skilled concrete crews pour over 300,000 cubic yards — that’s 30,000 truckloads — of concrete every year, and every inch of it is subject to our rigorous quality control. Our in-house crews guarantee that the finished concrete exceeds every expectation and our processes adhere to Southern California’s strict air quality (AQMD) requirements.
