Boosts onsite efficiency up to 50% while slashing carbon footprint

BAY SHORE, N.Y. – November 5, 2025 – Roman Stone, a recognized leader in precast concrete products and technology, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking EZ-Key™ product line, a comprehensive patent-pending system designed to substantially shorten installation times, significantly reduce onsite costs, and dramatically enhance contractor efficiency. This innovative EZ-Key™ product line was specifically designed for data centers, airports, and other major infrastructure projects to address critical customer challenges including labor shortages, challenging schedules, and tight budgets.

​EZ-Key™ Duct Bank

The flagship of the new product line is the EZ-Key™ Duct Bank, a patent-pending precast duct bank system for running high, medium, and low-voltage cables and fiber cables. This system is engineered to install each 10-foot section in under two minutes, a fraction of the time required for traditional methods. Key features include a heavy-duty shear key capable of withstanding extreme loads and state-of-the-art alignment cones that guide each pipe into its precise seating location in minimal time and with minimal labor. The system ensures a perfect fit every time with innovative new zip pins, which secure each section using a standard impact wrench, eliminating guesswork and errors.

​EZ-Key™ Vaults

In addition to EZ-Key™ Duct Banks, this revolutionary new product line will include EZ-Key™ Vaults, a series of precast vaults in various sizes. Each EZ-Key™ Vault will feature an integrated EZ-Key™ connection, creating a seamless, turnkey interconnection solution for any job site which eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming pour-in-place interconnections. While the use of the integrated system drastically reduces installation time and cost, each EZ-Key™ component can also be used with existing or non-EZ-Key™ vaults or duct banks.

"The construction industry is ripe for a modernization leap, and the EZ-Key™ system is that leap," said Daniel Murray, President & CEO at Roman Stone. "We're not just selling a product; we're offering a turnkey solution that slashes project timelines, reduces labor costs, and gives our customers a powerful tool to meet their sustainability goals. This is a true revolution in methodology."

In a coming move to modernize construction materials, Roman Stone will offer the entire EZ-Key™ line with advanced, sustainable options. This includes special fiber reinforcement that eliminates all steel rebar and the option for a carbon-negative concrete mix, moving beyond carbon neutrality to actively benefit the environment.

The patent-pending new EZ-Key™ system represents a fundamental shift in construction, offering unparalleled cost savings, speed, simplicity, reliability, and a path to greener building practices.
