Why Precast Concrete

Precast concrete is one of the most efficient, versatile, and reliable construction materials manufactured today. With greater design flexibility, faster schedules, and unrivaled resilience, precast concrete outclasses more traditional construction methods at every turn. We call that the Precast Advantage, and it’s the reason builders and contractors turn to SCW for better solutions in precast technology.

Quality: The precast structures are manufactured under strict quality controlled and quality assured closed controlled environment using high quality raw materials and the extrusion techniques. Factory manufacturing means stricter quality and safety control, therefore resulting in better quality and defect-free products and this process also helps in eliminating weather delays and other disruptions which will have an impact on conventional construction.

Strength & Durability: The precast pre-stressed products were built to last. The precast structures are more durable and reliable than the conventional ones. Precast products are exceptionally resistant to impact, corrosion, weathering, abrasion and resists the accumulation of dust making it virtually maintenance free. Precast concrete can provide a service life of more than 100 years, reducing maintenance and operating costs.
Economical: Faster construction time, Quick-install process cuts down on labor cost and time. The simplified construction process reduces the time, increases the productivity, quality and safety and thus the cost is reduced. Reduced site work, less formwork, site clutter, propping and temporary works, this in turn leads to better site management, lower costs and increased safety.
Easy Installation: Speed is a critical hallmark of precast products installation. By using the precast components we can complete a larger foot print in a short period. Once precast installation starts, on-site construction and off-site manufacturing can be overlapped, thereby reducing overall site construction time. Precast structures allows a fast and simple erection process, thus reducing time of construction they arrive at construction site in ready to install stage.
Fire Proof:
• Precast pre-stressed were built to last. Precast naturally resists numerous hazards including fire. Precast concrete structures have demonstrated high fire resistant characteristics. Precast walls also stay intact even in hot chemical fires.
• Precast concrete is non-combustible with built-in fire-resistant capability.
Minimal On-site Work:
• As the pre-cast structures are factory made it requires minimal on-site work avoiding huge man power and machinery.
• No Propping and No Scaffolding.
Speed of Construction: This is the main reason why precast products are gaining much attention. Precast products save a lot of time as the precast structures were factory made and brought to the site after undergoing the complete curing and quality procedures so that they can be readily installed upon arrival to site. Faster speed of construction with precast products reduces long term overall costs and makes the use of precast products more economical than conventional systems. And the key advantage with precast technology the finishing works can be performed right away after installation.

Versatility: Precast products offer endless design and aesthetic flexibility. As the products are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, several combinations of colors and textures can be used. A wide range of shapes and sizes are available to choose from with smooth finishing and thus the aesthetical values of products are increased.

Safety: Precast concrete products helps in creating safer work site conditions by reducing the number of workers involved and reducing the need of propping and scaffolding.
