Designers are always looking for ways to build economically
and quickly, often times to meet a tight deadline.
Fast/All-Season Construction are two key reasons why designers
are using precast structures and architectural panels for
their projects.
The precaster’s ability to begin casting while foundation
and site work progresses allows components to be delivered as
soon as they are needed and speeds overall construction.
 Its
factory-controlled fabrication ensures tight tolerances that
minimize adaptations needed at the site as the structure is
erected.
These benefits allow the shell to be enclosed quickly,
providing protection from the elements and giving interior
trades a quick start on installing wiring, plumbing, HVAC and
other equipment.
That combination results in lower costs for labor and
construction, shorter loan periods, and many other economic
benefits.
All-Weather Construction Precast’s factory-controlled
fabrication ensures that production and erection are
unaffected by harsh weather. This means no time is lost due to
inclement conditions, nor does additional time need to be
factored into the critical path scheduling to allow for
potential delays.
The use of architectural concrete has increased because of
its economy, design freedom, and universal availability. The
dimensional, functional, and flexible aesthetic possibilities
of precast concrete make it a building material that can fit
into nearly any design.
And due to the inherent structural capabilities of precast,
structures can also be designed for practically any soil or
seismic condition. |
