IRPE was born as a small family business which specialised in precast concrete for use in industrial construction applications. Over the years it’s owners’ structural engineering expertise led them to design and build steel and concrete structures that were more economically viable to its industrial building clients without compromising the strength and integrity of the structure.
In 2017, IRPE began investing its efforts in the research and development of a vertical formwork system that has the considerable advantage of reducing critical path times for multistory residential and commercial buildings, which resulted in its new division One Up being created, which entity has entered the market with the sale of its preformed and pre-reinforced columns that are manufactured offsite. Further Research and Development is underway within this division to develop more vertical formwork products.
