Construction

Precast concrete has been around since the Roman times. The Roman builders where the first people to start using concrete and they began pouring the concrete into moulds to form precast sections of their aqueducts, tunnels and concrete culverts. The Precast concrete industry has now become an integral part of the construction and engineering industries providing a variety of architectural and structural products for various applications and constructing different types of structures.

There are various types of precast concrete products available for use in the construction, engineering and agricultural industries. Some of these include;

• prestressed concrete panels
• precast concrete retaining walls
• concrete security barriers
• crib walling
• box culverts

These precast products have many advantages over the traditional method of casting on-site, mainly the speed and reduced costs of producing precast concrete products
