Does anyone have information regarding older precast concrete Channels? (1958 Minnesota) These are being used for a roof with precast slabs between them.

Thank You!

After searching my old memory banks, The best place to start would be Molin Concrete Products in Lino Lakes, MN.

They made Flexicore wet cast plank (16" and 24" widths) and also made some specialty shapes needed.

Do any of the following three systems look similar to what you have?

The MidCon channel slabs were commonly supported on steel beams. Here is a load table for their products - not sure of date of publication:
