Heat, Speed and Strength: Electrifying Finfrock’s Precast Curing Process

The Project

Location: Apopka, Florida
Client: FinFrock
Project Timeline: September 2024 through Summer 2025
EXACT Solution: xControl
In February 2025, EXACT’s xControl team completed a two-week installation of an electric curing system on Finfrock’s existing 384-foot double tee beds in Apopka, Florida.  This project, which began in planning stages back in September 2024 and was commissioned in summer 2025, marks another milestone in the ongoing relationship between EXACT and Finfrock. By retrofitting electric heating onto existing formwork, EXACT enabled Finfrock to modernize operations with minimal disruption and extend the value of their previous investments. The installation was efficient, collaborative, and the results provided an electric heating solution over other mediums of heat.

Over the course of two weeks, the team installed a total of 540MI and 16 Nichrome heaters – across 18 bed sections, using over 2,000 weld studs. Thanks to labeled wiring harnesses, pre-positioned weld clips, and efficient planning, the retrofitting process was smooth and accelerated each day. Having welders on standby ensured any unexpected repairs could be managed instantly. Behind the scenes, EXACT’s production, operations, and procurement teams played a critical role in delivering the right components on time, including last-minute needs.

The real win, however, was strategic: retrofitting Finfrock’s existing forms with EXACT’s electric curing system gave them a powerful modernization tool without the cost and disruption of replacing infrastructure. This upgrade allows Finfrock to apply controlled heat to the concrete curing process, enabling faster form stripping and more consistent early break strength results.

The project was a technical and logistical success. Not only was the job completed efficiently, with daily improvements in process and pace, but the results promise long-term value. The electric curing system will improve production output and consistency at Finfrock, helping them stay competitive while maximizing the use of their existing forms. These two curing beds are just the latest in a growing list of EXACT installations for Finfrock, reaffirming a trusted partnership built on reliability, innovation, and high performance.
