But the fact is, architectural precast concrete has been around since the Roman times and have outstanding results. Definitely worth exploring for your next project.
How Are Precast Concrete Fencing Made?
“Precast concrete products are cast in molds in a factory setting. These products benefit from superior quality control achievable at a production plant. Cost savings are realized when shapes are duplicated. Precast products range from concrete bricks and paving stones to bridge girders, structural components, and panels for cladding,” Precast Concrete Association.
Precast concrete is known for being architecturally interesting, very durable, especially in our tropical environment, and can last for decades without needing repairs or painting.
To understand the scope, there are several large venues made from precast concrete such as the beautiful Citrus Bowl right here in Orlando, the Cobb Energy Centre for the Performing Arts located in Atlanta, the St. Louis Cardinals Busch Stadium, as well as millions of miles of highway barriers and homeowner association fencing.
Sustainability of Precast Concrete
Both during the construction phase and throughout the lifespan, precast concrete has several environmental benefits. From using recycled materials, reducing landfill waste, to less of an impact on the community, installation takes less trucks and time then traditional materials.
