Why Precast?
Every day, more architects, engineers, contractors, developers and owners specify precast, prestressed concrete components for their construction needs.
Versatile precast, prestressed concrete components can be specifically designed to meet most construction requirements. Discover the advantages of using these components:
Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or “form” which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and maneuvered into place; examples include precast beams, and wall panels, floors, roofs, and piles.
As an industrially produced building product, precast is always of the highest quality. A carefully designed production process and the controlled environment enable real-time monitoring of quality and easy adjustments in raw materials, casting and finishing. The outcome is cured, finished, and equipped.
Its long lifespan is another one of the precast concrete advantages. Precast products are designed to last for at least 100 years once installed. Additionally, they do not require any maintenance or repairs during their lifetime. It can easily withstand the elements and go through years and years of wear and tear while still being just as strong and resilient as it was the day it was cured.
