Oran Pre Cast Delivers A Total Pre-Cast Solution

 

Why choose a Pre-Cast solution?

• 
  Client deals with one company.
• All design and production planning carried out in advance.
• Client is assured of price and time scale in advance.
• Joint consultation between architects, engineers and clients guarantees superb final product.
• Speed of erection on-site, saving time and money, ensuring overheard costs are kept to a minimum.
• Safe, clean site with fewer hazards.
• Concrete withstands exposure to all elements.
• Mechanical and electrical products can be embedded.
• Twin wall internally ready for direct decoration.
• Pre-Cast provides a comfortable building for its occupants with excellent sound insulation.
• Concrete is inherently fire resistant, providing a safe and more sustainable building.
• Pre-cast concrete elements arrive on site fully cured and ready to take full design loading.
• Weather does not play such an integral role on site programmes when using pre-cast concrete as it would with traditional build techniques.

 

Reduced Site Operations

Using pre-cast concrete improves the speed of construction, depending on the complexity of the layout and detailing in the specification. Pre-cast concrete allows parts of the structure to be released, forming an immediate working platform that allows other trades to conduct work. This can take place while the rest of the frame is erected. Pre-cast concrete removes many of the sensitive site operations to the more stable environment of the factory. Poor weather conditions will have little effect on the rate of construction.

 

Environmentally Friendly Systems
Concrete buildings provide the ultimate in comfortable spaces for living, working and leisure activities. Greater thermal inertia results from using as much concrete as possible in the building thus greatly reducing heating and cooling costs. All products are manufactured in a controlled environment with no
waste or by-products to be disposed of. The entire structure can be fully recycled.

 

Complete Turnkey Solutions

The range of products currently available allows designers to integrate pre-cast elements in all areas, not just in frames and flooring, but throughout the entire building, to include stairs, lift shafts and wall panels. This further reduces the requirement to have additional trades on-site. Advances in concrete mould technology allow complex profiles to be produced, overcoming dimensional and structural limitations. These advances would usually be associated with conventional systems employing composites of steel, wood and in-situ concrete.

 

Enhanced Design Flexibility
Pre-cast re-enforced and pre-stressed concrete is widely regarded as an economic, structurally-sound
and architecturally versatile building medium. Prior to manufacture, concrete products can be designed
to fit specific construction applications. Modern pre-cast concrete frame buildings can be designed
safely and economically. Disciplined design is inherent in the design of a pre-cast building as the pre-cast manufacturer can take advantage of greater mould reuse and therefore minimise set-up time.

 

Increased Fire Safety

Concrete possesses its own built-in fire resistance, which is present the whole way through the building process. Obtaining a one-hour fire resistance is normal and this may be increased to suit the requirements of the project.
