What is the meaning of precast concrete?
Unlike concrete that is poured on-site, 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 the site and then craned into position.Precast concrete is a highly versatile product available in a vast range of different sizes, shapes, and cove concrete finish. Precast products are used in a variety of applications, including buildings, civil construction, raft slab, and landscaping.
