Precast concrete provides a number of functional and aesthetic needs for exterior and interior wall systems. With the ultimate in design flexibility, precast offers the possibilities of wide spaces, high ceilings, wide aisles, special staging areas - form liners, finish types and integration with other building materials such as brick, steel, and glass.

Precast Concrete also offers many benefits over other methods of construction:

  • Design Flexibility - create any shape, size, texture, contour. Precast products allow for unconventional lengths and widths.
  • Fast/All-Season Construction - precast components can be fabricated while the site is being excavated and then assembled in almost any kind of weather.
  • Economical - less expensive on very large and very tall structures.
  • Durable and Low Maintenance - eliminates the need to paint or rust-proof.
  • Energy Efficient - precast panels offer interior insulation.
  • LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design - The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.
  • Safer - safer, more comfortable environment, high fire ratings, ability to sustain shock, and withstands impact and abuse.
  • Sound Absorbing – precast concrete dilutes sound naturally.
  • Exterior Beauty - softer, brighter, more traditional looks and colors.
  • Compatible – precast functions with any building material you choose. Combines with steel, glass, brick, wood, or stone.
  • Future Expansion - the ability to replicate an existing panel allows for future expansion of the structure.
  • There are infinite possibilities when working with precast/prestressed concrete products. The possibilities of which are only limited by the imagination.
