READ: PARKD signs MoU aimed at improving panels used in modular parking systems
Last month, PARKD signed an MoU aimed at developing, refining and improving a critical concrete panel component of the company’s innovative lightweight modular car parking system.
The MoU with Reinforced Earth Pty Ltd (REPL) will see the parties work together for co-development and improvements of PARKD’s transportable concrete panels.
Continuous improvement strategy
At first the collaboration will focus on improving concrete design, production techniques and cost efficiencies with the intention to manufacture and test the panel against a number of industry benchmarks.
If the quality of the product manufactured and supplied by REPL is suitable, both companies expect to proceed to an exclusive agreement whereby REPL will manufacture and supply PARKD’s transportable panels for future projects globally.
