- 1. A Precast Building consists of all the same elements as a conventional building which includes floors, roofs, walls as well as beams, columns and stairs, the only difference is that these elements are manufactured in a controlled environment and transported to the site for Erection, Connection and Commissioning.
- 2. ADVANTAGES • DESIGN • Increase spans of members due to use of Prestressing Technique. • Architecturally aesthetic construction is possible beyond imagination. • Surface Treatment using Form-liners, Exposed Aggregates, Colored Concreting is possible. • Designed to resist Earthquake loads along with other implied loads.
- 3. Economic • Overall Cost & Schedule are fixed prior to Construction. • Reduce the wastage of Steel and Concrete due to Automation. • Optimization of Element sizes reduces material consumption & cost. • Recycling of most of the wastage is possible due to the controlled environment. • Construction Financing required for Shorter period of Erection. • Minimize the cost of Labors & Supervisors at site. • Smooth Surface finish ensures no plastering at site. • Early commissioning of the project means early gains to the client.
- 4. Quality • High Quality: Pre-fabrication independent of weather conditions. • Highest precision and quality of concrete elements due the production on smooth steel moulds. • Proper Quality Control done in the precast concrete plant. • Equipment wash down water can be recycled before disposal >zero waste possible. • Exact production guaranteed by automation: lower tolerances, fire resistance, heat & sound insulation, storage capacity. • Load bearing walls substitute frame and skeleton structures. • Precise placement of MEP inserts ensure proper fit up. • Minimizes site disturbance and overall carbon footprint. • Considered as a Green Building Product.
