Applications of Precast Concrete
Because of its strength, durability, and affordability, reinforced concrete is commonly utilised for structural structures.
The following are some examples of how precast concrete is used:
To make beams, columns, floor slabs, foundations, and other structural members for buildings.
To make wall or cladding panels for buildings.
To make precast pre-stressed elements for buildings.
To make components for infrastructure projects: elements such as bridge spans, or metro line viaducts are often precast in a casting yard.
To make products such as precast water tanks, septic tanks, drainage chambers, railway sleepers, floor beams, boundary walls and water pipes.
As it can be moulded into any shape, it can also be used to create one-off unusual forms such as boats, sculptures and so on.
