The History of Precast Concrete Structures and Their Usage

François Hennebique the French engineer who patented his pioneering reinforced-concrete construction system in 1892, integrating separate elements of construction, such as the column and the beam, into a single monolithic element.

The Hennebique system was one of the first appearances of the modern reinforced-concrete method of construction.

Application of Precast Industry

The applications of precast concrete systems have attained accelerated progress worldwide, due to several aspects, such as good quality control, speedy construction and economy. Precast construction is economical, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Stadiums

Solid wall panel simply refers to walls being made of solid concrete as opposed to including integral insulation. These wall systems require some form of insulation and an interior wall/finishing system to complete the building enclosures.

 

Parking Structures

Over the past 40 years, precast concrete has been the number one choice when building above-ground parking garage structures, and with good reason. Precast concrete offers greater strength and impermeability, as well as superior durability. It also offers a wide range of design options that feature wider bays and the need for fewer columns, improving vehicle circulation efficiency. 

Bridges

Prefabricated bridge construction has been developed because it presents many advantages over conventional bridge construction including speed of erection and improved quality control due to plant fabrication.

 

Precast Building Structures

Precast concrete suits well for any type of building: residential, commercial, industrial, public to name a few.
