Building with pre-cast concrete elements opens up the opportunity to have a separate production because a part of the required products can be stored ahead of time no matter at what stage the construction is.
-
Pre-casting takes place in work sheds and therefore weather conditions are irrelevant.
-
Pre-cast concrete parts have a different rate of production than at the construction site. One could therefore stock supply and only deliver the amount required to the construction site.
-
This production technology is extremely precise when it comes to measuring. As a result, the usually prescribed width of the fixed concrete layer can be reduced. The steel reinforcement can be built exactly to requirement and therefore used optimally.
-
The finished construction is built with a high level of precision.
-
Due to a so called "all round calculation" the normally statically required reinforcement can be completely built and set into the concrete parts. As a consequence the time required to process reinforcement material at the construction site is reduced.
-
Transporting the pre-cast concrete parts to the construction site is easy. The measurements of most pre-cast concrete parts often do not require the use of a long vehicle. Floor slab elements normally weigh about 130kg/m²; double walls about 270kg/m².
-
This technology could replace building with skeleton frameworks. The advantage lies in having smooth wall and ceiling surfaces. Visible support structures are no longer required as they are incorporated within the concrete part.
-
Pre-cast concrete parts replace formwork at the construction site as they themselves form the layer into which in cast concrete is poured.
-
The surface of the pre-cast concrete elements is smooth due to being produced in pallets (steel formwork). Plastering is not required as very often the concrete surface is good enough for paint work.
