WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF QUALITY PRECAST SYSTEMS CONCRETE?
The benefits of precast concrete are applicable if you are using good-quality precast concrete. Otherwise, your money might be wasted, and the time you save amounts to nothing since it will lead to repair requirements in the future.
Here are some of the characteristics of good precast concrete that can help you make an informed choice:
Dimensional Accuracy
The purpose of precast concrete is to be used as it is. Therefore, the concrete size you order should be the size you get. In general, precast concrete has good dimensional accuracy.
Consistency
The final product has a high consistency when precast moulds and systems technology is utilized offsite. Concrete products are created in a controlled environment using high-quality materials to get high quality precast concrete products. If your precast concrete structures are inconsistent, you may be using precast concrete of inferior quality.
Resiliency
Good precast concrete does not contain any VOC. VOC in concrete leads to mould and foul odour, common in residential buildings. Therefore, use good precast concrete, and the buildings will be resilient to moulds and unhealthy indoor environments.
