Sealand Harvesters and Developers Ltd. was originally registered in 1987, but it wasn’t until 1993 that manufacturing Prestressed concrete components became the focus of the company. In light of the extensive experience gathered abroad in concrete technology and in auger-cast injection piling system, we decided to introduce into Belize the concept of Prestressed Concrete in the various disciplines of construction.
The introduction of prestress concrete, a new concept of technology to Belize, has been quite a journey. Belize on a hold had difficulty endearing this new method of construction when prior construction materials was simply timber and then recently precast piles. We were initially viewed with skepticism because this system of construction was thought too advance to be produced here in Belize. However, working with local and international consulting firms the quality of our products speaks for itself. We are very happy to see that Belize is now embracing the concept of Belizean-Produced Prestress concrete components in the construction of residential homes, schools, commercial buildings and in highways construction. The word is spreading about Sealand Prestress and the more demanding jobs are requiring our product.
Initially we started with Low Cost Housing, Inverted T-Beams for roofs, floors and Panel and Post components for the construction of Sea Walls for land reclamation in a marine environment. In the late 1990’s we expanded production to Prestress-Precast concrete square piles in the sizes of 10×10″, 12×12″ and 14×14″ with custom lengths for job application. More recently we have added Prestress-Precast Double Tee’s to our list of Prestress products. Our products are manufactured using the international standards of PCI, ACI and ASTM.
Throughout the years we have supplied to residential, commercial and government projects. Some of the companies that have used our Prestress Piles include Esso Standard Oil, Belize Electricity Limited, Ministry of works, BWS, Philip Goldson International Airport, Smithsonian Carrie Bow Cay Field Station. Our Double Tee’s have been used in the roofs of various schools and commercial businesses including St. Martin High School in Belize City, Presbyterian School in Corozal, Muffles Junior College, Landy’s and Sons, The Boundary Store in Orange Walk Town, Elias Multi-service store in Camp 3, Shipyard. Our Tee Beams have been successful with home owners and commercial buildings through the country and the Cayes, including Princess Hotel and Casino in Belize city, Itz’ana in Placencia. Most recently we have ventured into using our Prestress Piles and Double Tee’s in the construction of a marine dock for Zeta Ice Factory in Belize City and our Prestress Panel and Post system is being used in sea and river walls in Orange Walk Town, Belize City and Blue Ground Caye Range in the Stann Creek District.
