In India, pre-cast concrete construction is gaining popularity in construction projects. Because of the buildability requirements, larger infrastructure projects and urban transportation have embraced pre-cast construction. Even project-specific pre-cast construction quality delivery is now required. Current trends indicate that general pre-cast can also gain ground, given the fastest growing demand in the built environment, which […]

Cement The reinforced and/or pre-stressed concrete precast element could be used. The behaviour of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete under service loads and at the ultimate limit is heavily influenced by the material composition and manufacturing process. The versatility of this structural and architectural product is enhanced by factory production. It is critical that specifiers and […]
The most serious issue confronting the precast industry is the lack of a dependable and cost-effective method of joining prefabricated members. Connections are high-stress concentration locations and structural system weak points; they must withstand high forces and displacement when subjected to lateral loads transmitting joints. “Joints” are the points of action of forces that occur […]
For many years, concrete was the obvious choice for many structural applications, but this has recently changed. Plastic has now become a viable alternative to precast concrete for applications such as barriers. But new isn’t always better. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of precast concrete barriers and why they may still be a good […]
Grade Concrete is simply cement, grit, and water. Pour it where you want it after you’ve mixed it. Working with heavy, unwieldy concrete may appear simple, but to meet the increasingly complex needs of modern construction, expert planning and execution are required. Regardless of complexity, projects must be completed on time and within budget. Consider […]
Precast Concrete Is Preferred Most building materials deteriorate over time. Some substances deteriorate from the moment they are installed due to water, wear, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. Precast concrete is unique. It can gradually grow stronger over time. The concrete shows no signs of “stress relaxation,” and its lifespan is estimated to be 100 years […]
If you live in South Asia, particularly India, you probably don’t want to hear about the amount of rain that falls from the sky because you are already well aware of the amount of moisture that falls from the sky. Do you, on the other hand, think of retaining walls when you think of rain? […]
Prefabrication of any structure component off-site during highway construction (or reconstruction) saves significant time and money over traditional cast-in-place methods of construction. The technology of precast prestressed road pavements provides a significant increase in durability while significantly reducing construction time and cost. Precasting bridge parts and elements offsite is also advantageous because bridges are among […]
Circular concrete pipes can be replaced with precast concrete box culverts. Box culverts drain large amounts of water and have a higher flow rate than pipes. Box culverts are stronger and easier to install than other materials. Box culverts, which are commonly used for drainage, can also be used as tunnels, storage, or material handling. […]
Manholes play an important role in city and rural infrastructure by redirecting sewer lines and other wastewater to treatment plants or other such facilities. Workers can investigate problems along the line and make repairs or perform maintenance at these junction points. Manholes used to have flat bases in the not-too-distant past. As wastewater entered, the […]
