Frequently Asked Questions

Precast concrete is a construction product that is cast in a mold and then cured in a controlled environment. Unlike traditional concrete, which is poured on-site and allowed to harden, precast concrete is produced in a factory setting. This type of concrete has many benefits, including reduced labor costs and improved accuracy. In addition, precast concrete can be produced in a wide range of styles and colors. As a result, it is an increasingly popular choice for both commercial and residential construction projects.

Precast concrete offers a number of advantages over other construction materials. 

It is extremely strong and durable, able to withstand high temperatures and pressures. It is also non-combustible, making it an ideal choice for structures that need to be fire-resistant. Precast concrete can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes, making it easily adaptable to the specific needs of a project. It is also relatively easy to install, as the individual pieces can be simply lifted into place. In addition, precast concrete has a very long lifespan, ensuring that it will provide a low-maintenance and cost-effective solution for many years to come.

Precast concrete is a type of construction material that is cast in a factory setting before being transported to the job site. It is commonly used for a variety of applications, including walls, floors, columns, beams, and structural support. 

As the industry has progressed, precast manufacturers have increasingly used concrete with compressive strengths in the range of 4,000 psi to 5,000 psi. The higher compressive strengths allow for the production of thinner and lighter concrete products while still providing the necessary strength and durability.

One of the main benefits of precast concrete is its durability. When properly designed and constructed, precast concrete walls can last for 100 years or more with minimal upkeep. In contrast, traditional masonry construction often requires regular maintenance and repairs, which can be costly over time. As a result, precast concrete is an increasingly popular choice for both new construction and retrofit projects.

Installation time will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. However, precast concrete is typically faster to install than traditional poured concrete. For example, a small precast concrete wall might take a few hours to install, while a large precast concrete structure could take several days or even weeks.
