Precast Floor Shelf
- The principle advantages of Precast Floor Shelf are speed of construction.
- Absence of scaffolding, large variety of types, large span capacity, & economy.
- Totally Precast Floor Shelf are composed of a concrete shelf and wood to fasten the truss, which are totally cast at the plant.
Precast Concrete Frame
- Precast Concrete Frames involve an entire structure being fabricated off-site.
- Structural Components can be supplied for incorporation into a structure on-site.
- Frames can simultaneously achieve both structural and decorative design requirements in a wide variety of mixes, colors and finishes.
- Architecturally-finished precast structures can be left exposed to exploit concrete’s high thermal capacity in a building’s “green” energy management system.
The Process
- Precast Concrete Frames are cast in the same way as precast concrete cladding, but as they are designed as structural elements that have heavier reinforcement than is required for non-structural cladding.
- Elegant Connections are required between columns and beams to transfer considerable forces without adversely affecting the visual appearance of the frame.
Benefits of Precast Concrete Frames
- Enable 60% Faster Build Times -not affected by weather or labor shortages.
- Improve Build Ability- structure is fabricated off- site for rapid erection on-site
- Produces a High Standard of Workmanship in Factory Conditions – reduces potential for accidents and addresses on-site skill shortage.
- Has a High Quality Finish that can be left exposed – concrete’s thermal properties can be exploited in low-energy buildings
