Precast Concrete

“How can we create ready-made concrete in a factory for quick installation later?”
Concrete is one of the building blocks of infrastructure around the world. However, pouring concrete on-site can be slow and prone to poor quality control. What if instead we were to create concrete in a controlled factory setting and then install it on site? Well, this is the idea behind Precast Concrete. Precast concrete has better quality control, construction speed, durability, versatility, and site disruption resilience. However, building these pieces remotely leads to potential transportation bottlenecks, higher construction costs, and less design flexibility. Precast concrete is implemented in all facets of the built environment, from highway barriers to wall panels in buildings to big concrete pipes.
