Precast Concrete
A Solid Solution
The new millennium came with new challenges in virtually all sectors that called for innovative solutions. The construction and infrastructure industry was no exception to this and the precast concrete soon emerged as the best alternative to the conventional products and processes on various counts that included quality, versatility, strength, durability, sustainability & lifetime cost.
Advantages
Since precast is manufactured in a controlled casting environment, it is easier to control the mix, placement, and curing processes. Quality can be controlled and monitored much more easily.
On site, precast can be installed immediately. There is no waiting for it to gain strength while the modularity of precast products makes installation quicker.
With the ability to so tightly control the process from materials to consolidation to curing-you get extremely durable concrete.
Weather as a factor is eliminated – you can cast in any weather and get the same results, which allows you to perfect mixes and methods.
Faster construction
with around 75% less construction time than traditional construction, projects are not held up due to manufacturing delays.
Durability
Precast concrete strengthens with time. Its load-carrying capacity is derived from its own structural qualities and does not rely on the strength or quality of the surrounding backfill materials.
Rough ,Tough & Long-lasting
Concrete is a very strong and durable material, which is a significant sustainable attribute. It will not rust, rot or burn and has a service life in excess of 100 years.
Reduced Site Impact
Because precast concrete components are modular and standardized, they are installed faster, resulting in reduced construction time and energy usage. less noise and fewer emissions from on-site equipment.
