The new coving designed by ICON Precast for the Mt. Cook Alpine Salmon factory is regarded by industry experts as "revolutionary" and "quite a big step up from where the industry has been traditionally."

The revolutionary coving used in the state-of-the-art Mt. Cook Alpine Salmon factory enabled the factory to meet the highest international food hygiene and export standards, reduce the cost of construction, and reduce ongoing overheads by making the factory easier to clean and maintain.

The precast nib with the cove built in is a brilliant concept, and I have not seen it before in my 15 years in the industry.  It certainly is a cost saver and time saver in the construction period, and overcomes the inherent weaknesses in the traditional systems,” Julian Roy, Special Projects Manager for Bondor NZ Ltd says.
