What Jensen Precast does

Jensen Infrastructure (formerly Jensen Precast) is a family-owned manufacturer of precast concrete and multi-material infrastructure products, headquartered in Reno, Nevada, with manufacturing facilities across Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Washington. Founded in 1968 by Donald Jensen in Reno, the company has operated continuously for over 50 years as a second-generation family-owned business and now employs 501–1,000 people. It produces a broad product portfolio including utility vaults, septic tanks, pump stations, concrete pipe, manholes, stormwater management systems, grease and sand-oil interceptors, highway barriers, parking curbs, retaining walls, and agricultural infrastructure such as the Harvest Pillar trellis system. Customers are engineers, contractors, and government agencies across the Western United States, served through a quote-based B2B sales process supported by will-call pickup and regional delivery.

The company's technical capabilities span precast concrete, drycast concrete, fiberglass, metal, polymer, and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC), with proprietary and patented offerings including the StormVault underground stormwater detention system and BioConcrete watertight products. An in-house professional engineering team delivers PE-stamped drawings, submittal packages, and 3D site designs, enabling customization for non-standard infrastructure projects. Many products carry pre-approvals from agencies and certifications including NJDEP, TAPE, ASTM, and AASHTO compliance, and the company maintains memberships in NPCA, APWA, and IAPMO, which together support its positioning in regulated public and utility procurement.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based hardware sales of precast and multi-material infrastructure products, bundled with custom engineering services, pump station mechanical systems, and on-site startup and training. Pricing is quote-based, with standard inventory units typically carrying ~one-week lead times and interceptors/separators priced in the $2,000–$12,000+ range depending on size, exclusive of installation and maintenance. In March 2024 the company acquired ProGlass Incorporated to extend into glass fiber reinforced concrete, and in 2025 it rebranded from Jensen Precast to Jensen Infrastructure to signal its broader multi-material and engineering positioning.
