Precast concrete and precast, prestressed concrete excel in strength, sustainability, functionality, and durability. It integrates easily with other systems and provides the versatility, efficiency, and resiliency needed to meet the multi-hazard requirements and long-term demands of high-performance structures.

Precast concrete is concrete that is cast into a specific shape in a controlled environment in a precast concrete plant. Prestressed concrete is concrete with primary reinforcement consisting of steel strand put into tension, resulting in compression of the concrete. This increases load-carrying capacity, allows for greater spans, and reduces cracks. Components are then transported to the job site for erection.

Precast concrete is versatile, efficient, and resilient.

In terms of versatility, it offers aesthetic versatility, structural versatility, and use versatility. Precast can be manufactured in virtually any color, form, and texture; offers façade integration; and boasts historic compatibility. As far as structural benefits, precast offers scalable performance, economical sections, and long open spans. In terms of use, precast is recyclable and boasts both deconstructive reuse and adaptive reuse.

In terms of efficiency, precast offers site efficiency, energy and operation efficiency, and risk reduction. By using precast concrete, your jobsite receives minimal site disturbance, negligible waste, and accelerated construction. In terms of energy and operational efficiency, precast offers scalable performance, is thermally efficient, and experiences low life-cycle costs. Precast also reduces risk as design assist is offered; it reduces trades; and could result in enhanced profitability.

Regarding resiliency, precast offers structure durability, multi-hazard protection, and life safety and health benefits. In terms of structure durability, precast offers a long service life, barrier wall system, and functional resilience. Multi-hazard protection includes storm resistance, earthquake resistance, and blast resistance. Life safety and health benefits include indoor environmental quality, passive fire resistance, and precast meets FEMA 361.

Since 1946, we have partnered with our customers to innovate, design, and build meaningful buildings in which to live, work, learn, and play. We know you could work with any number of precasters and are always grateful when you choose to partner with us.
