Precast concrete is a construction material when concrete is cast in a reusable mold and then controlled in a well-curated environment before being transported to the construction site.

By producing precast concrete in a controlled atmosphere environment (a precast plant), pre-made concrete provides the opportunity to properly cure and be carefully monitored by plant workers. There are many different precast concrete building plans for architectural applications, varying in size, function, and cost.

• Safe

Everyone knows concrete does not burn! The strength of the structure is maintained over a long period of time, but the construction accounting of the concrete prevents the spread of fire from one building to another.

Strong enough to withstand the effects of earthquakes, eruptions, and natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. The use of precast elements eliminates or significantly reduces common formworks and props. 

Precast builds also reduce the risk of domain damage and related environmental issues. Pre-made products also provide a safe working environment for employees to work on. Workers and building materials are also significantly reduced on construction sites.

Using Just-in-Time principles, precast elements are stored in the factory yard until the site is ready for installation. Factory production allows for a wide selection of space finishing, color range, and unique shapes.

Precast concrete has another advantage: its shape involves designers copying ancient details such as key and capital stones or matching the ends of objects such as flexible stones. As a result, the precast concrete industry can find a wide variety of mixing in the area and offer a wide variety of amazing colors and visual effects.

• Optimized
  

The advanced technology used in precast concrete creates an improved quality product (i.e., reduced tolerance, more minor phases, engineering solutions) compared to locally distributed concrete. Additionally, this quality can be checked before the unit is installed in a building or site function!

Precast products are manufactured in a throw-in where critical features, including temperature, mixing composition, and release time, can be closely monitored and controlled. This will ensure that the quality of the precast products is better than cast-in-situ concrete. Lots of money can be saved by not having to do repair work. 

And because of the factory-controlled environment, many combinations of colors and textures can be easily applied to a building or building components. It can produce a huge range of sizes and shapes of precast sections, provide great flexibility and give a new look to buildings.

• Durable

Concrete lasts for years. The Egyptians and the Chinese used the ancient concrete type of buildings and structures that still exist today. Concrete is used when building stability should be maintained for a long time. Functional design details help extend the life of the concrete structure; precast manufacturers can provide design for durability.

• Ecological

It is made of natural materials (stone, stone, sand, cement), found almost everywhere and in large quantities; pre-concrete reduces the impact of the life cycle on the environment compared to other building materials. In addition, the former concrete units can be completely reused or recycled (approximately 100% of a concrete structure can be recycled, no matter how hard it is).

• Fast and Affordable

The requirements for a modern construction project opt ​​for timely delivery! Site construction using precast concrete is not only fast but also safe as secure operating platforms are established quickly. In traditional construction methods, time-consuming tasks such as formworks, scaffoldings, and cures are required to produce a structural element. 

In concrete construction, structural elements are made in the manufacturing industries while other activities in the building are in progress. When structural elements are needed, they are quickly dispatched to the site and continuously assembled, thereby making the process fast. 

Modern machinery and a few specialists are employed to oversee certain production processes in the concrete manufacturing industry. This has dramatically reduced the number of unskilled laborers.

Wrapping Thought

Sustainability means a state of “3 victories” in the three pillars of our society: People, Profits, and the Planet. We need to work on all three. Otherwise, the solution could not be considered sustainable! Precast concrete combines excellent factory production quality with relatively inexpensive material. Therefore, the cost of repairing and maintaining concrete buildings is minimal.
