Encore Lot 12 Rendering

Tight Site. Clean Results. Zero Compromise.

Encore Lot 12 was a high-density project with limited laydown space and no room for inefficiencies. PCL turned to PS=Ø to streamline construction and clear space faster—without sacrificing structural performance or finish quality.

By removing the need for pour strips and reducing the risk of cracking, PS=Ø accelerated the build, improved safety, and delivered cleaner results across the board. The system allowed natural concrete movement without creating delays, giving the team more control and less risk.

Blake Dorr, Project Engineer at PCL, shared: "On a tight site like Encore Lot 12, PS=Ø helped us clear space fast. PS=Ø gives you a cleaner connection, less cracking risk, and a better finish — all while letting the concrete go through more natural volume change without schedule risk. It's a smart system that makes things faster, safer, and just easier overall."

For Encore Lot 12, PS=Ø wasn't just a structural solution—it was a jobsite advantage.
