An article in Home Advisor explains how precast concrete is formed.
In the U.S. precast concrete is a relatively new product that has quickly become very popular. As a building material, it is extremely strong, durable, and quite versatile. Precast concrete is now so common here, it is hard to believe that, before 1950, it had never been used in this country.
Building Benefits of Precast Concrete
Before precast concrete, the walls of a concrete structure were not made until the foundation of the building was complete. Now, the foundation and walls of a structure can be made simultaneously. This significantly decreases the amount of time it takes to complete the building and reduces labor costs, as well.
Since precast concrete comes to a job site ready made, weather plays less of a role in the time it takes to finish a project. When concrete was formed at the job site, precipitation and high levels of moisture could severely affect when the concrete could be poured, as well as how long it would take to cure.
Precast Concrete Characteristics
Fire resistance, sound absorption, and ultra smooth surfaces are a few of the things that make precast concrete so popular among builders. Though it is often thought of as a commercial or industrial product, many condominiums, apartment buildings, and even some houses have made use of its fantastic list of credentials. Structures containing precast concrete are even subject to lower insurance rates because of its strength and ability to withstand fire.
