What is Precast?

Unlike concrete that is poured on site (insitu concrete), high quality precast concrete
is produced in a controlled factory environment using advanced manufacturing
techniques.

Reinforcement is placed into reuseable and adjustable moulds, and concrete is poured,
vibrated and cured. If specified, architectural finishes (such as honing, polishing or
staining) may then be applied while still in the factory. The finished precast elements
are then transported to site and then craned into position.

Precast concrete is a highly versatile product available in vast range of different sizes,
shapes and finishes. Precast products are used in a variety of applications, including
buildings, civil construction and landscaping.

The Process

Design
Precasts many advantages are best incorporated into a project when an experienced
precast designer is used from an early stage in the process.

Manufacture
Precast concrete products are manufactured in specially-equipped factories, which are
established in permanent locations.

Transport
Finished products are transported to site, ready for installation.

Construction
 Products are then craned into place. Final products can range from sophisticated
polished reconstructed granite wall facades to functional storm water drainage pits.
Why Use Precast?

Precast concrete is a high performance construction material that provides significant benefits
in terms of Quality, Design, Construction, Strength, Safety and Sustainability. It doesnt
matter what angle you are coming at it from, precast offers substantial benefits to everybody
involved in a project.
