Precast concrete is an ancient type of construction
material made with concrete cast in a reusable mold or "form"
which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to
the construction site and lifed into place.
Precast concrete is resistant to rain penetration, flood damage
and windblown debris.
It can also withstand many winters of freeze-thaw cycles unlike
other materials, which can deteriorate quickly with such regular
exposure to expansion and contraction. |

Precast concrete is fireproof. It protects anainst
the spread of fire between rooms or properties, and it cannot catch
fire, burn or drip molten particles.
Precast concrete is made from a range of materials, which can be
combined to produce different properties. This means that precast
can be porous, dense or impervious; it can float or sink, be heavy
or light. The possibilities are endless. |
